Jinhong Gas has released its 2015 annual report, demonstrating a satisfactory growth that outperforms the growth of the China economy.
Total revenue increased by 7.28% from RMB 517m ($78.9m) in 2014 to RMB 554m ($84.5m) in 2015, while profit attributable to shareholders of the listed company also increased more than 15% from RMB 46.3m ($7m) in 2014 to RMB 53.4m ($8.1m) in 2015.
