("SkyPeople" or "the Company"), a producer of fruit juice concentrates, fruit juice beverages and other fruit-related products, today announced the introduction of Hedetang-branded fruit juice beverages into 24 Shaanxi Dongdongbao restaurant chain stores through automatic fruit juice dispensing machines.

In addition, there is an element of freshness to the process and there is a sense that the juice it is made especially for them. There are four flavors of Hedetang-branded fruit juice beverages made by automatic fruit juice dispensing machines currently available to customers, including kiwi, pear, mulberry and orange.

The Company expects automatic fruit juice dispensing machines in restaurant chain stores to bolster the presence of Hedetang-branded fruit juice beverages in the local market of Xi'an, and plans on gradually spreading this fruit juice beverage dispensing method for our fruit juice beverages to other provincial capital cities of China.
