Transformation revving up production

QuanChai Group Co, a Chuzhou, Anhui province-based company known for its rugged internal combustion engines, is finding new life through digital transformation and smart manufacturing.

This shift is key to keeping the 76-year-old company "not just alive, but ahead" in China's fast-evolving manufacturing landscape, said Xu Yuliang, member of the board of QuanChai.

The company, listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange since 1998, is leveraging China's industrial internet push to revamp everything from its production lines to financial management systems.
