The Zhejiang Provincial Engineering Technology Research Center for Environmental Protection Inks was approved and established by the provincial science and technology department in July 2013. It is built based on the Zhejiang high-tech enterprise, Xindongfang Ink Co., Ltd., with Mr. Fan Jiaju as the center's director. The main building of the center is an independent R&D building of seven floors, covering more than 3,300 square meters. Additionally, it owns a type test base of over 1,200 square meters.
