Chinese term or phrase: 厚恒物资
This term appears in a news report on Zhenhai Port. The port has 7 specialty markets and one of them is the 厚恒物资城. I would like to know how to translate the term 厚恒物资. Extract of the sentence containing this term is as follows:

"如今在镇海港,装货卸货忙,交易更忙。今年一季度,港口的液化市场、金属园区、煤炭市场、厚恒物资城、钢材市场、货运市场、有色金属市场等七大专业市场"

Thanks for your help

Houheng Commissary
Explanation:
The pictures here suggest that the official Chinese name is Houheng Commissary, but I doubt if any typical English reader will understand what it means though. Perhaps you may want to Houheng Commissary (Logistic Town)

Explanation:
it is 厚恒。。物资。。城。。。and 'Houheng Commissary' is indeed what they use on the entrance of the market. As it is described in the website, the place is specialized in steel and plastic product, so I would translate it into Houheng Commissary (Steel and Plastic product Market). In that way, everyone is happy - they keep their name and reader can understand too.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Hi Ms Ren, Thanks for the explanation. It was most useful. However I have decided that to use Houeng Commissary (Logistics City) instead of detailing the types of products that this company sells. Best Regards. Patrick Kwan
