It only took Hunan Yicheng Door Manufacturing Co., Ltd. two years to grow its annual output value from 10 million RMB (1.54 million US dollars) to 100 million RMB (15.39 million US dollars). The company's rapid growth is credited to the transformation and upgrading of Meitanba Door Manufacturing Town in Ningxiang City.
"This first-class business environment created by the government has made Meitanba Town a prosperous place for investment and development," said Wang Wei, Assistant to the General Manager of Yicheng Door Manufacturing.

"The reason why we choose to come to Meitanba Door Manufacturing Tow is not only because it is the hub of door manufacturing and the largest door production base in Hunan Province, but also because the local government attaches great importance to the door industry and shows sincerity to enterprises," said Wang Wei.

Meitanba Town has provided comprehensive services for Yicheng Door Manufacturing since its establishment at the end of 2019, such as preferential tax policies, skills training for employees, awards and subsidies for the purchase of high-tech equipment and the introduction of high-tech talent.
More importantly, under the leadership of the government, enterprises in the Meitanba Door Manufacturing Town unite closely and help each other, which has greatly reduced the cost of business operations.

In response to market demand, Yicheng Door Manufacturing has continued to innovate from technology, design, marketing and other aspects in recent years. By introducing advanced technology from Germany, its environmentally friendly paintless wooden doors have won the favor of consumers.

"At the beginning, our company only had 30 to 40 employees, the plant area was less than 30 mu (two hectares), there was only one production line, and the annual output value was about 10 million yuan (1.54 million US dollars)," said Wang Wei.
Today, the company has not only built a new 18,000-square-meter production plant, but also increased the number of production lines to three, one of which is an automated production line. The number of employees has tripled, while the annual output value has increased tenfold to nearly 100 million yuan (15.39 million US dollars).

At present, more than 1,000 dealers of Yicheng Door Manufacturing are spread all over the country. Its 5D paintless wooden doors are not only sold domestically, but also exported to more than 60 countries such as Europe and America, making it a famous modern door manufacturing enterprise in central China and even nationwide.

"Our goal is to be the top door manufacturing enterprise in central China within three years, and to become a national benchmark enterprise in the door industry in the future," said Wang Wei with full confidence.

The rapid development of Yicheng Door Manufacturing is just a microcosm of Meitanba Door Manufacturing Town. Turning from "the Capital of Coal in Central Hunan" to "the Capital of Doors in Central Hunan", Meitanba Door Manufacturing Town has initially formed a whole industry chain including product design, style and creativity, research and development, production, marketing and service.

In the future, focusing on the development of medium and high-end door manufacturing, complete home furniture, intelligent security, it will strengthen product innovation and design and customized services to develop a green, healthy, fashionable, creative, and intelligent door manufacturing industry.

By the end of 2020, more than 100 enterprises have settled in Meitanba Door Manufacturing Town. It is expected that in 2021, the output value of the door industry in Meitanba Town will exceed 12 billion yuan (1.85 billion US dollars).
