What Harbin Electric does

Chinese state-owned maker of power generation equipment, including turbines and generators for thermal, hydro and nuclear plants.

Builds large turbines and generators to order, with delivery stretching over a year or more, so sales follow orders placed years earlier by utilities. Its domestic peers are Dongfang Electric and Shanghai Electric, and the three share China's market for large power equipment. A state-owned parent controls the company.
