Cleantech Solutions Receives Patent for New Production Technique for Use in

Dyeing Machines

WUXI, Jiangsu, China, December 27, 2012 - Cleantech Solutions International, Inc. (“Cleantech Solutions” or “the Company”) (NASDAQ: CLNT), a manufacturer of metal components and assemblies primarily used in the wind power, solar and other clean technology industries, today announced that the Company recently received a new patent certificate(Patent No. ZL 2012 2 0165878.7) for an innovative production technique enabling more-effective cloth washing in dyeing machines under high temperature and pressure.

The new patent was issued by the State Intellectual Property Office of the People’s Republic of China (“SIPO”) and was granted to the Company’s subsidiary, Wuxi Huayang Dyeing Machinery Co., Ltd., in November 2012. The patent will provide the Company with the exclusive use of this innovative production technique in dyeing equipment for a period of ten years.

The patent involves a change in the structure of dyeing equipment so as to create a cooling system that enables more effective cloth washing under high temperature and pressure. This technique has been proven to easily shed debris and cotton husks on the surface of fabric, and cloth can be washed much more cleanly. In addition, washing cloth within the cooling vats reduces the time required for dyeing, thereby reducing energy consumption and emissions.

“We are pleased to have been awarded this patent, which demonstrates our ability to develop proprietary and innovative production techniques that improve our product quality and enhance our market competitiveness,” said Mr. Jianhua Wu, Chairman and CEO of Cleantech Solutions.  “With several more patents pending, we remain committed to maintaining our product development efforts and believe they will provide the core foundation for us to secure additional orders and expand our market share in the air-flow dyeing machine market.”
