Handmade Painting Line

In 2012, Ming Cycle added a brand new dust-free manual painting line. The resident art designer could make immediate changes immediately as required by customers at any time. The whole series of Dupont painting and the dust-proof positive pressure system for painting equipment were used. Ming Cycle hopes to meet “high-mix low-volume” demand of customers in the current market with this painting line and then build a professional quality painting line.
