In March 2011, Cleantech Solutions delivered a sample product order of nine units to Zhejiang Group for its inspection and approval.

Following the sample product order, Cleantech Solutions has received an order to deliver 25 units of its energy-efficient airflow dyeing machines by November this year.

The company has received an advance payment of CNY3m ($469,300).

The company said its airflow dyeing machines use air flow as opposed to water in the traditional dyeing process, which results in reduced input costs, fewer wrinkles, less damage to the textile, and reduced emissions.

Cleantech Solutions chairman and CEO Jianhua Wu said the company expect to see further growth in sales from its dyeing equipment segment towards the end of 2011 and in 2012, if China relaxes its monetary policy.

Cleantech Solutions is a manufacturer of metal components and assemblies, primarily used in the wind power, solar and other industries.
