Foshan Huafeng has two board mills in Guangdong province. Foshan Huafeng Foshan mill employs some 750 people while the Zhuhai mill has 680 staff.
The company was formed from a 1990s restructuring of Foshan Huaqiao Paper Making Factory, a coated recycled board and directory paper mill in Foshan that was set up in the 1960s,but halted in the 1980s due to environmental concerns about the straw pulp process in use.
