Ossen Innovation, a China-based manufacturer of an array of plain surface, rare earth and zinc coated pre-stressed steel materials, has been awarded a contract to supply 15,000 tons of plain surface steel strands to a construction company responsible for building the new Jiujiang express loop highway in Jiujiang City, Jiangxi Province, China. The steel strands will be used in the construction of bridges and elevated highways in this infrastructure project.
“Ossen is very pleased to announce this important contract win”, said Dr Liang Tang, chairman of Ossen Innovation. “The 29-mile, USD 508M Jiujiang express loop highway project is an important part of China’s 2020 highway network plan, and will connect Jiujiang City and Xingzi County. The proximity of our Jiujiang manufacturing facility to this infrastructure project, combined with our solid reputation for delivering high quality products for similar projects, allowed us to successfully bid on and ultimately win this contract”, said Dr Tang. Ossen expects to begin delivery of the plain surface steel strands in the first quarter of 2014. “We hope to announce additional supply contracts for other China-based infrastructure projects in the near future”, concluded Dr Tang.
