Expo glow lingers over local businesses

AN increasing number of Jiading District companies involved with World Expo Shanghai have expanded their businesses to respond to new initiatives highlighted at the exposition and to a rise in orders for technologies they demonstrated there.

Philips Lighting Luminaires (Shanghai) Co will install 20 energy-saving LED street lamps on Yuying Street and Dazhi Road in Malu Town.

The new lamps are up to 50 percent more energy efficient than the traditional sodium globes.

"The World Expo Shanghai promoted the concepts of low-carbon technologies and energy efficiency, so we are putting more effort into the research and development of energy-saving lamps and LED products," said Wu Jie, product manager of the company.

"Sales of energy-saving products have grown more than 30 percent since Expo."

Huangdu Forest Industry Park in Anting Town successfully bred the traditionally winter flowering poinsettia to bloom in summer for use at Expo. Production of the hybrid poinsettia has now increased by 40 percent to meet demand for it.

Shanghai Liancheng Group supplied pumps to 14 pavilions in the Expo site. Afterward, the group decided to continue the eco-friendly concepts promoted by the Expo and is raising the efficiency of its pumps and electrical apparatus control system to cut energy costs by 30 percent. A team of 70 technicians is working on the upgrade of 10 products.

Shanghai Shengjian Ventiduct Co Ltd produced and installed 60,000-square-meter of ventilation ducts in the China Pavilion at Expo. Since then, it has been approached by companies such as BMW and SAIC with orders.

"Overall, our orders have increased at least 30 percent since the end of Expo," said Shengjian General Manager Zhang Weiming.
