Core Viewpoint - Despite facing performance pressure, the company Fuliwang (688678.SH) is making significant investments to expand production capacity, with a planned investment of approximately 500 million yuan for a high-end wire material project [1][2]. Group 1: Investment and Expansion Plans - Fuliwang's subsidiary, Qiangxin Technology (Nantong) Co., Ltd., plans to invest in a project focused on high-end wire materials, including products for bridge cables, coal mine anchor cables, and ultra-high-strength prestressed steel strands [1]. - The project will be located on a 79-acre site in Nantong High-tech Zone, with a total fixed asset investment of about 300 million yuan, including 200 million yuan for equipment and 100 million yuan for land and buildings [1]. - The construction period is set for 26 months, with an expected completion and production start date by the end of March 2028 [1].
