(NASDAQ: SORL) ("SORL" or "the Company"), a global tier one supplier of brake and control systems to the commercial vehicle industry, today announced that to improve its production management system, managers of its subsidiary, Ruili Group Ruian Auto Parts Co., Ltd., recently completed advanced training in the TPS production management system.  

The TPS (Toyota Production System) production management system is a widely-used global system.

The Company's managers were in the first group to receive this upgrade that was sponsored by its customer, the FAW Group (FAW), as SORL is one of its core suppliers. FAW intends to build an internationally competitive core supplier network. The FAW instructor demonstrated the TPS production management system in great detail and also highlighted the production training site for practical application.

Jinrui Yu, International Sales & Production VP, commented, "The TPS production management system is a popular global production management system. As a key supplier to FAW, we are honored to be invited to participate in this training, and we now have a more profound understanding of the effectiveness of the TPS production management system. We are further integrating the usage of the TPS system more broadly and deeply to control costs, increase efficiency, improve product quality, and maximize customer satisfaction, which in turn, increases the Company's and our shareholders' value."
