A Chinese copper tubing company opened a plant in Alabama's Wilcox County recently, giving residents of the poorest county in America hopes for a better life.

 

The southwest Alabama County, which had no major industry for nearly half a century, traditionally led the state in unemployment.

 

However, all this changed after the opening of the 100 million USD plants, GD Copper USA, which is expected to bring 500 jobs to the region.

 

US Congressman Terri Sewell said at the plant's opening ceremony that the plant's start of operation marked an important day in Alabama.

 

The economy of Wilcox County had lagged behind due to a lack of good resources and opportunities, but now it has both, Sewell added, urging the employees of GD Copper USA to work hard so as to help the plant achieve a big success.

 

GD Copper USA was built by Golden Dragon Precise Copper Tubing Group of Xinxiang, China. It makes copper tubing for heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems.

 

The opening of the plant is described by some as "one of the largest economic development events" in the county's history.
