  1. Dear Sirs
    For such large power project, we’re wondering if any FPR Grating and Pultruded profiles are need to be used in it?
    Here I’d like to take this chance and share with you a brief introduction of our company.

    JIANGSU JIUDING offers nearly 30 years of FRP products building experience. It is the first company in China to introduce technique and equipment from USA to manufacture FRP Molded Grating in 1992. We have 100 molds in total and the monthly output is about 4500-5000 pcs of standard panels (16*40ft containers). Our grating panels has passed ASTM E84 Class A Test, EN13501 Bfls1 & Crepim M1F1. Our Profiles meet UL94-V0 standard.

    I’m wondering if you are interested in importing fiberglass products from Jiuding?

    I will be happy to give you a quotation upon receipt of your detailed requirements. Also, I can send you a catalogue and sample if you need?

    Your concern on this is highly appreciated.
