China National Machinery & Equipment Import & Export Corpo- ration (CMEC), founded in 1978, is the first large Chinese corpo- ration integrating foreign trade with industry. It is a large global conglomerate with the international engineering contracting and export of complete plant as its core business and international trade, scientific research and design as well as international service trade as its main business. CMEC has conducted its business with dif- ferent countries and regions from the five continents in the world in many business areas, including power generation, power trans- mission and transformation, light industry, textiles, food, building materials, transportation, railway, harbor, communication, broad- casting and television, shipping, metallurgy and mining. CMEC’s project for the coal pulverizing system of SAQCEMEN- TI LTD is the first project for China to export the complete sets of cement equipment to Georgia. According to the contract, the project involved the design and supply of the coal pulverizing system, in- stallation and instruction for civil engineering, testing and commis- sioning, and acceptance of the system. With the support and help of the Ministry of Commerce of the People’s Republic of China, the Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in Georgia and its Economic & Commercial Counselor’s Office, the project was completed in 2008. The success of the project helped the owner of the project realize its idea to replace the expensive natural gas with the coal as its fuel, which reduced the fuel cost greatly. CMEC has attached great importance to broadening its market in Georgia and seeking new trade opportunities, and has made its effort to contribute to the bilateral trade relations between Georgia and China. Adhering to its cultural philosophy of human-oriented, innovation, competition, cooperation, integrity, dedication and har- mony, CMEC will continue its efforts to become a world famous international group ranking in the forefront of international engi- neering contracting, international trade and relevant services. hi-technology
