Cable capital of China
Not many people know, but historically there is a specialization of regions in China. The most famous one is Shenzhen - the city of electronics and technology. But besides Shenzhen, there are various other areas, cities, as well as provinces that specialize in one major industry. The city of Guangzhou specializes in textiles, Ningbo - in shipbuilding and the production of machinery and equipment, Hangzhou - a center of e-commerce and technology, thanks to Alibaba, and Changzhou and Yixing - specialize in the production of cables and cable equipment. That's why we, Habsans, are proud to have our factory in Yixing and our office in Changzhou, connecting the two cable cities.
Yixing is home to a large number of cable factories and businesses - over 100 factories specializing in a wide variety of cables. These businesses manufacture a wide range of cable products, including electrical cables, fiber optic cables, data cables and more. From giants to highly specialized manufacturers, these enterprises make a unique contribution to the Chinese economy.
