Chinese company and its British subsidiary Henry Bath bring worldwide scope to commodity connectivityInside a 20,000-square-meter warehouse, forklift truck drivers are lifting blocks of copper, nickel, zinc and other metals, piling them into neat stacks.
The warehouse, opened this month by China Materials Storage and Transportation Development Co in partnership with its UK subsidiary Henry Bath, was designed to support China's growing international commodities trade.
Wang says CMST has made use of Liverpool-based Henry Bath's expertise from more than 220 years of trading and storing commodities.
"Through close collaboration between CMST and Henry Bath, we can ensure that the warehouse fits the best international requirements for commodity handling procedures and security considerations, in preparation for China's integration into the global commodities trading space," Wang says.
The collaboration between CMST and Henry Bath is a story of the merging of two companies with long histories.
Henry Bath was founded in 1794 as a copper trading business that covered all aspects of the trading process, including sampling, weighing, setting freight landing charges and sales.
Over the next century, the small company grew, so that when the London Metal Exchange was founded in 1877 to give the world's commodity traders a more regulated platform for transactions, Henry Bath was a founding member of the exchange.
In this sense, Henry Bath played a key part in the history of the world's commodity trade as the industry transitioned from traders directly interacting with each other to finding counterparties on a regulated platform.
For instance, a seller can only trade on the London Metal Exchange when its metals are already in an LME-regulated warehouse, such as the Henry Bath warehouse.
Due to Henry Bath's relatively higher credibility, compared with newer warehouses, a buyer of commodities can secure better financing terms with banks when they are buying from a seller whose metals are kept in a Henry Bath warehouse.
It is Henry Bath's credibility, experience in managing metals, and global network of warehouses that made it an attractive target for acquisition by CMST.
In January 2016, CMST bought a 51 percent stake in Henry Bath for $60 million (48.7 million euros; £43.3 million).
The remaining 49 percent of Henry Bath stays with its previous owner, Geneva-based Mercuria Energy Group.

In May 2017, the Liverpool-based warehousing company Henry Bath challenged its 70 employees to maximize the amount of walking they do each day.
The Henry Bath team was competing with a team of the same size at its parent company, China Materials Storage and Transportation Development Company.
We helped our employees to reflect on how the Belt and Road grows international connectivity, while doing something to get fit," said Graham Hawkins, CEO of Henry Bath.
Henry Bath, a British company with 223 years of history, experienced a major internationalization boost in 2016, when China's biggest warehousing company, CMST, paid $60 million for a 51 percent stake in the company.
The remaining 49 percent of Henry Bath stays with its previous owner, the Geneva-based Mercuria Energy Trading.
In the same year, Henry Bath, CMST, Mercuria and the London Metal Exchange signed an agreement to develop new warehouses in countries within the area covered by the Belt and Road Initiative, so metals traded across the region can be stored.
CMST will invest in the new warehouses, which will carry the Henry Bath brand.
"Henry Bath is the fifth largest holder of total metal volume traded on the LME.
What made Henry Bath an attractive investment target for CMST is both its established brand and its international network of around 60 warehouses across 17 cities globally.
In March, CMST and Henry Bath will together open a new warehouse in Shanghai, which supports China's growing commodities trade with economies in the Belt and Road area.
