SDET, Subsidiary of SDT Holdings, Announces Plan to Build Battery Factory in Quebec


MONTREAL, Feb. 06, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Via OTC PR Wire -- SDT Holdings, Inc. / Wuhan General Group (China), Inc. (OTC PINK:WUHN) (the "Company"). 

The proposed state-of-the-art, large-capacity battery facility intends to leverage the newly electric mining equipment market forecasted to reach $56 billion by 2022.

Strategic Development of Electrification Technology (SDET) is a Quebec-based enterprise that specializes in the research and development, prototyping, benchmarking and piloting of industrial batteries. The company also produces low-cost, high-performance battery cells designed for a wide range of heavy-duty industrial electric equipment. These cells are known to have exceptional autonomy and ultra-rapid recharge capabilities, without any degradation or loss of lifecycle.

The Company announced today that it plans to build a R&D laboratory and battery factory, subject to the receipt of mandatory governmental permits along with the solidification of required debt and equity financing. "We are currently in discussion with partners and city officials," stated Ramy Kamaneh, CEO of SDT Holdings, Inc.

The key companies profiled to use the batteries produced in the new factory include Caterpillar Inc., Komatsu Ltd., Sandvik, Joy Global Inc., Hitachi Construction Machinery Co. Ltd., Atlas Copco and AB Volvo.

The Company anticipates the construction to begin no later than the second quarter of this fiscal year. Phase One is estimated to take five months to complete and Phase Two, nine months. Once fully operational, the facility is projected to be a home base for 25 new permanent jobs with the expectation that more jobs will be created as production ramps up.

About the new factory announcement, Ramy Kamaneh states, "By building a cutting-edge battery factory along the Quebec mining region, which is in direct proximity to lithium, graphite and other primary materials needed to build the battery, we put ourselves in an advantageous supply situation, while reducing our costs significantly. By providing batteries to the mining industry both nationally and internationally, forecast numbers show that we are poised to earn substantial additional revenues in the years to come."
