-- Production Expected to Start in 2016 --

HARBIN, China, Nov. 13, 2014 — (PRNewswire) — China XD Plastics Company Limited (NASDAQ: CXDC, "China XD Plastics" or the "Company"), one of China's leading specialty chemical producers engaged in the development, manufacture and sale of polymer composite materials primarily for automotive applications, today provided a status update on its new manufacturing campus ("Southwest Campus") under development in Sichuan province.

Since the groundbreaking of its Southwest Campus in December 2013, China XD Plastics has completed the government-assisted land acquisition and related relocations for the 300,000 square meter site (approximately 74 acres). Due to the site's hilly terrain, additional ground leveling work was necessary prior to construction. The preparation took the Company approximately six months to finish what would normally take nine months to complete and was done concurrently with site design, plant intelligence plan, production process plan, landscape plan, and government approval processes.

As of the date of this release, China XD Plastics has completed the majority of construction preparation, including land surveys, building engineering and architecture plans for the state-of-the-art facility. RFPs for construction contractors are underway, preparation for the facility's foundation is near completion and the equipment customization order was completed ahead of schedule. The Company expects to start laying the foundation for the manufacturing plant and its auxiliary facilities before the end of the year. Operations at the Southwest Campus are expected to begin in early 2016, as originally scheduled.

Jie Han, Chairman and CEO of China XD Plastics, commented, "Our Southwest Campus is an important platform for our expansion into Southwest, South and Central China, and will provide additional capacity for our sales channels in East China. These regions represent an increasingly important strategic opportunity for us as more auto and auto-parts manufacturers are expanding there. We believe having production capacity close to our customers will be a competitive advantage, allowing us to provide higher quality service more efficiently."

Through focused R&D efforts, China XD Plastics has broadened its product offering from six major categories to eleven this year. The Company has achieved breakthroughs in biodegradable and 3D printing materials for future commercialization, which will benefit its customers' product development and design cycles. To meet environment standards and global adoption, there is an increasing need in the marketplace for biodegradable materials. These technology advancements will provide China XD Plastics a competitive edge. Maintaining automobile applications as its core business, the Company is continuing to diversify its product offering for applications in high-speed rail, ships, and aircrafts as well as biodegradable and electronics applications.
