During the founding conference, Que Weidong, chairman of Quechen Silicon Chemical Company, signed the agreement to invest in Marseille of France with Grand Port Maritime De Marseille, Kem One and Provence Promotion.

According to the agreement, Quechen Silicon Chemical Company will make an investment of 105 million euro ($128 million) to build a HDS manufacture base and research and development center in the Grand Port Maritime De Marseille, which is the biggest commercial port of the Mediterranean region.
