SHANGHAI, Oct. 26 /PRNewswire-Asia-FirstCall/ -- ShengdaTech, Inc.
("ShengdaTech" or the "Company") (Nasdaq: SDTH), the leading manufacturer of
nano-precipitated calcium carbonate ("NPCC") in China, today announced that
the Company was named on Forbes Magazine's fifth annual list of "Asia's 200
Best Under a Billion" for the year 2009.
Forbes Magazine's Asia's 'Best under a Billion' list includes 200 leading
Asia-Pacific companies with strong track records of profitability and growth,
modest indebtedness, and positive future prospects (for details of the
