Institute
    Hangzhou Project & Research Institute (HPRI) was named as Hangzhou Project & Research Institute of Machinery, Light Industry Ministry formerly, which was approved by the State Council in 1979 and announced by the National Science Committee and the Ministry of Light Industry jointly, as well as settled down in Hangzhou in 1982. To be as a key institute in area of light industrial equipments design and development, and as one of total 242 state application institutes in China under National Economic Trade Committee and Bureau, HPRI was reformed formally as a science and technology-oriented enterprise subordinated to the General Company of China Light Industry Machinery on July 1st, 1999. Approved by the National Industrial & Commercial Administration Bureau, the Institute was renamed to Hangzhou Project & Research Institute of Electromechanical in Light Industry on 8th Aug. 2002.
  Nowaday, the HPRI holds 5 professional equipment design departments, covering pulping, papermaking, foodstuff, daily chemical, plastics individually, an electrical transmission instruments and automation department, a lab on trial of light industrial technical course, an Engineering Architecture Institute in Light Industry and 5 corporations, which developed as perfect machines and a new products development basis with abundant investments. Number of technological organizations/associations were registered by the institute, such as the Papermaking Professional Committee to Chinese Light Industry Machinery Society, the Machinery Device Professional Committee to Chinese Papermaking Association, the National Light Industry Machinery Standardized Committee and the Standardized Branch Committees on Papermaking Machinery and Food Machinery, the quality supervision and measuring center on machinery of papermaking, foodstuff, daily chemical, plastics and the editorial department of Light Industry Machinery.
Occupied more than 0.67 hectares, 15,000centiare for research activities in the HPRI, the institute has a strong professional research and development team, including 8 state experts who share Government premiums, 8 chief senior engineers, 60 senior engineers, 89 engineers and technicians, 3 first-class and second-class registered architects, 4 first-class registered structure engineers and 11 registered supervision engineers among 200 plus employees.
  The Hangzhou Engineering Architecture Institute in Light Industry (HEAI), invested by the HPRI exclusively, has become a member unit of the Chinese Reconnaissance Design Society and the Chinese Engineering Counsel Society. It holds class B certification on engineering design, architecture design, engineering counsel, engineering overall contraction and engineering supervision. Moreover, it has passed ISO9001 quality system certification in 2002.
  From the very beginning of the establishment, the HEAI has extended its business to fields of device design, engineering design, consultation, device completion and overall contract, etc. The customers covered more than 2000 large/ middle-scale enterprises. For evidences, HEAI successfully managed 170,000 t/y high grade printing paper and white coated board project for Jiangmen Papermaking Factory; 100,000 t/y high intensity corrugated base paper project for Shangyu and Nanyang, Zhejiang Province, 10,000 t/y cotton pulp project for Baoding Banknote Paper Factory, 50,000 t/y bleaching chemical straw pulp and 40,000 t/y semi-chemical straw pulp continuons cooking project for Chenming, Shandong Province, а-alkene sulfonate project for Nanfeng Group, 120,000 t/y washing powder project for Nice, Zhejiang Province, Jianqao key primary school in Hangzhou,. The Institute has won more than 60 awards, among them, 1 second award on National scientific advance, 6 third awards, 1 first award on science advance at provincial and ministry level, 11 second awards, etc.
  Large number of senior engineers and/or engineers have accumulated their own experiences in the long term of field practice. Especially, in the field of pulping, papermaking, daily chemical, plastic machinery, electric drive instruments and automation, have brought into play the synthetic advantages in the device developing, manufacturing and engineering design. Successfully to transfer the services from traditional technical to integrate testing studies, developing design, technical services, engineering design, device completion and overall project contractions, etc.
