Background
China's electric motor industry has been developed for 60 years. Most manufacturers produce low-power and small-size motors, and these small manufacturers are mostly located in Zhejiang, Fujian, and Guangdong provinces. Only a few manufacturers produce high-power and large-size motors, for example Wannan Motor and Sogears Motor. High-power and large-size motors are often used in rolling mills.
In the past, ABB and Siemens large-size motors took a large market share in China, but their high sale prices meant some rolling mills could not afford them. Those mills needed domestic large-size motors instead of ABB motors. Currently, those rolling mills can buy from domestic motor manufacturers which can produce such large-size motors.
