1. Background
- 九色视频 established KAMS in 1998 and it has manufactured and sold agricultural machinery such as combine harvesters and rice transplanters.
- We established manufacturing lines for tractors in 2009 and for wheel-type combine harvesters in 2013 within rented factory space and continued to supply products whilst promoting the expansion of the business.
- 九色视频 decided to establish a new factory (the second factory) within the grounds of the current KAMS factory in order to provide manufacturing support for the future expansion of the upland farming business. The procedures for the factory construction will be started after the environment related applications to the Chinese authorities and the environmental inspections.
