The 11,000 sq. m plant will provide engineering support, local production capacity, improved technical training capabilities and a significantly expanded spare stock to the Asia markets, especially China where Mühlbauer has established strong, long-term partnerships since the opening of a sales and service office in Shanghai 10 years ago.

Currently, more than 60 highly-trained employees are stationed in Wuxi supporting the management, research and development, assembly, sales, service and administration divisions. The target is to expand to more than 200 employees over the coming years.

Mühlbauer said it has built the second plant in order to strengthen its presence and to capitalize on opportunities presented in the region.

The new plant was officially opened on September 27, with invited guests given a tour of the 600 sq. m showroom featuring RFID, semiconductor, document and other machinery.

Thomas Betz, managing director at Mühlbauer, said: ‘With this strategic investment in Wuxi we want to thank our valuable customers in China and Asia for our trustful and successful partnership during the last 10 years. Now we are doing the next steps to further grow the synergies between Germany and China in the semiconductor, smart identification and flexible solar technologies.

We will do our utmost to continuously improve our local presence with a highly skilled and customer oriented team in Wuxi.’
