In December 2016 the Chinese government announced plans to expand the country's high-speed rail network from the current 19,000 kilometersto 30,000 kilometers (18,600 miles) by 2020, part of public infrastructure spending aimed at shoring up economic growth as well the project aimed at reducing pollution, gas emissions and congestion. The network would connect more than 80 percent of China's major cities.

Linking the country’s urban centers, reducing pollution and increasing GDP are all things to be proud of. Over the past decade MPEX has supplied many sets of mobile crushing and screening plants to various sections of high speed rail construction right across China and has just been awarded several new supply contracts for our track mounted equipment and needless to say it is something we are proud of.

MPEX clients in China have found the MPEX-4800RS and MPEX-5300RS to be perfect for the projects and these machines coupled with either a MPEX-1083 or MPEX-1303 track screen have proven to be great performers operating in harsh conditions and in many cases on a 24/7 operation.

We, MPEX, took some time to learn what the customers and operators wanted from our crushers, it wasn't about money or even production, it was all about consistency and ease of operation making sure that their workers can maintain and repair the machines; they didn't want machines that were over complicated or had too many added extras. Those are the greatest driver of success in China; it's easy to see why the MPEX range of machines has been so widely accepted in China. It was a no brainer and the standard MPEX mobile range has fitted the requirements and ticked all of our customers’ boxes, MPEX pride ourselves on having a strong reliable crusher that does the job day in and day out.

Due to the rapidly growing population of MPEX machines now in China, MPEX has set up a new factory in Shanghai and has a sales head office in Shanghai with dealers now located in provinces across China.
