U.S. conglomerate General Electric (GE) announced that it will establish its first overseas smart manufacturing technology center in North China's Tianjin Municipality.
It chose the city because Tianjin is a major production base for GE's medical equipment as well as its hydroelectric projects, the company said in an e-mail sent to the Global Times on Thursday.
The center will focus on automation, smart processing and assembly, 3D printing and digital modeling.
