Zhangjiagang City, China - Sino Legend (Zhangjiagang) Chemical renewed its call for further market innovation to help fuel unfettered advancement among its manufacturing partners. “The combination of our world-class production capabilities and unique technologies, derived from independent research conducted in China during the 1980s, has fueled our remarkable growth,” said Corey Xie, deputy manager, Sino Legend. “Only through such continued innovation can the industry continue to deliver higher quality, more cost-effective solutions to tire manufacturers. However, some old-line competitors continue to mount campaigns to prevent such innovation from flourishing, preferring to pursue unfounded legal claims and trade sanctions versus competing on the merits of their products. Their actions are not only anti-competitive, but harmful to the very industry in which they’re participating. In the interest of championing fair, ethical business practices and the broader interests of the tire and rubber industry, Sino Legend plans to work closely with the U.S. International Trade Commission as it evaluates our Section 337 compliance. We will continue to actively defend our intellectual property, especially as we move forward with plans to enter the U.S. and European markets this year, undeterred by competitive saber rattling.”
