Chinese companies and the Olympics
Beijing, August 2 (Youth.cn) - The designated table tennis balls for this Olympic Games were provided by a company from the Greater Bay Area, who provided a total of 35000 table tennis balls for the Paris Olympics.Every table tennis ball undergoes fifteen automatic inspection processes, followed by manual screening, and finally 3 to 5 balls are selected from 100 balls for the Olympics.
70 years ago, when this enterprise was founded, it could only make a few dozen balls a day. Now, relying on fully automated and intelligent production equipment, it only takes three to four minutes to produce a table tennis ball.
From handmade small workshops to internationally renowned sports brands that have independently developed and gone global, enterprises in the Greater Bay Area are achieving a magnificent transformation from "made in China" to "intelligent manufacturing in China".
