The Central Highlands city of Da Lat is famous for its cool climate, pine-scented air and mountain views. Often referred to as a “city in a forest”, “fog city” or "city of flowers", it is also home to many old religious buildings. A redemptorist monastery with a typical French colonial architecture that is one of the ancient religious buildings in Da Lat. Most of them were built during the French colonial period after the French founded the city as a resort town to get away from the humid, hot climate in the south. Monasteries with arched windows and balconies with large glass doors are European in design, but are also in harmony with the gentle rhythm of the city. Some monasteries are still places of prayer, while the rest have been assigned to state units for maintenance and repair or have been changed to become tourist attractions.

Paper Excellence has permanently closed the Mackenzie Pulp Mill. Production at the mill was originally curtailed in June 2020, putting 253 employees out of work in the community north of Prince George. It said employees from the mill have been relocated to other Paper Excellence facilities where possible and the terms of the collective agreement with Unifor Local 1092 will be respected and severance payments made. The company attributed the decision to market impacts caused by COVID-19 and lack of local economic fibre. “Since acquiring the Mackenzie mill in 2010, Paper Excellence has invested more than $360 million in the facility,” the company said in a statement. “However, despite these investments and the committed team of employees in Mackenzie, the facility’s small production capacity and the ongoing lack of local economic fibre meant the mill could not be globally competitive.” Conversely, Paper Excellence said it is restarting one of the paper machines in its Powell … [Read more...] about Mackenzie Pulp Mill permanently closed

Okinawa Autotech is setting up a plant to manufacture motors and controls for its scooters at its upcoming 5-lakh units per annum plant at Alwar in Rajasthan which is scheduled for commissioning late next month or early June. Surprisingly, leading electric two-wheeler makers are on a massive expansion spree despite the abysmal volumes and low capacity utilization. For instance, Gurugram-based Okinawa that leads the EV scooters space, closely followed by Hero Electric from HeroMoto Corp, is adding almost six-times more capacity and so is the Hosur-based Ather Energy , in spite of the fact that they are using only one-third of their capacity now. Ampere and Ather come at distant third and fourth slot when it comes to volumes. The move makes Okinawa the first electric two-wheeler maker to have own assembly line for motors and controls, the two key components in an EV after the battery, which it is already manufacturing at its Bhiwadi plant, said Jeetender Sharma , founder … [Read more...] about E-scooter maker Okinawa Autotech investing Rs 70 cr in components unit at Raj plant
