Hailun is cold pressing hammers. About five years ago our European partners, Wendl & Lung, shipped several hammer presses, approaching 100 years old, to China. They sat in Customs for years, because the Chinese government would not allow the importation of "obsolete" technologies, over 40 years old. It took a while to convince them that the latest is not necessarily the greatest. Frank Emerson
