9 years ago, French merchant Mr. Thierry Bourguignon planted a seed of hope at Rudong Economic Development Zone, and deeply ploughed in technological innovation. Up to now, the enterprise has been expanding and improving. On 12th March, the high-end valve project of BIP Perolo Jiangsu Engineering Co., Ltd. laid foundation and started construction. It will be put into production in next April. The production capacity will be increased by 4 times.

‘Benefited from the warm and thoughtful service of Rudong Economic Development Zone, the project building is fast and efficient. The service commissioner guided and assisted in the whole progress. The electricity, water and gas supply was ensured. At the same time, talent and fund bottleneck was solved immediately, which made us reassured and relieved.’ Mr. Thierry Bourguignon, the French merchant who came to participate in the foundation laying ceremony from far away, said.

In 1919, Mr. Joseph Perolo founded the plant in Paris, France, and started to research, develop and manufacture valves for fuel transport industry. After 105 years of development, the BIP has become a renowned brand with a century-long history. In the past few years, merchants from countries such as Ireland, Britain and Thailand, have been increasing investment and expanding production scale in Rudong Economic Development Zone.
