DEERFIELD BEACH, Fla., Oct. 18, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- China Direct Industries, Inc. ("China Direct Industries") (NASDAQ: CDII), a U.S. based company that sources, produces and distributes industrial products in China and the Americas in two core business segments, announced today that it successfully completed implementation of its new UFIDA NC Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) financial account software system at Shanxi Gu County Golden Magnesium Co., Ltd.
