Kautex Maschinenbau, a Bonn, Germany-based manufacturer of blow moulding machinery is opening its new plant in China, an important step that will give room for further growth.

The new plant in Shunde, Guangdong will complement the production capacity and quality standards of the company’s other production facility also in this location.

The new plant, only a few minutes' drive away from the old site is more functional and offers more space for the production, development, service and sales operations as well as visiting customers.

“In many respects, our old site no longer met our requirements. Also its outward appearance did not project the quality of our products,” said Gouliang Du, President of Shunde Kautex Plastics Technology.

It is also built with higher ceiling in the production hall and higher craneways to enable more and larger machines to be manufactured. “We need the space mainly for the multi-layer and multi-cavity machines that are increasingly in demand, “ Du said.

Already this year, a significantly higher number of machines will be manufactured and shipped to customers. The new production hall, designed with much natural lighting like its Bonn counterpart, and the new and substantially larger office wing will bring enormous improvements for the circa 115 employees.
