It is an old enterprise with a long history and large scale, handling import and export business in northern China. Over the four decades, the corporation has got numerous export earnings for the state by constantly developing its overseas market, opening export channels, increasing varieties and specifications and improving the quality of commodities. It has boosted the development of domestic production enterprises for light industrial products and has achieved brilliant successes.展开更多
