As the Czech Republic is located in the center of the European Union market, the new plant will help Changhong bypass certain trade barriers and sell its products to other parts of Europe as well as the Middle East, the Americas, the Commonwealth of Independent States and North Africa, Luo said. Construction of the Nymburk plant started in March and the first phase of the project has five production lines designed to produce at least one million plasma TVs and LCD screens a year.
