WUXI, China, Dec. 2, 2014 — Cleantech Solutions International, Inc. (“Cleantech Solutions” or “the Company”) (NASDAQ: CLNT), a manufacturer of metal components and assemblies used in various clean technology and manufacturing industries and textile dyeing and finishing machines, today announced that on November 28, 2014 it received a purchase order for a total purchase price of RMB13.3 million (approximately $2.2 million) from a subsidiary of China Petroleum and Chemical Corporation (“Sinopec”).  The purchase order covers parts and equipment including heat exchangers, coolers, reboilers, condensers and prefractionating columns used in offshore oil refineries.

Pursuant to the purchase order, Cleantech Solutions has received an advance payment of approximately RMB2.0 million ($0.3 million), or 15% of the purchase price, will receive an additional 75% of the purchase price upon delivery, and will receive the remaining 10% within three months of delivery subject to successful installation and testing at the customer’s site.  The Company expects to deliver the equipment in March 2015.
