Kendrion opens new manufacturing facility in Suzhou, strengthening its position in China
CEO Joep van Beurden:
“Today is a proud day for Kendrion. We started construction of the plant in November 2021 and are pleased to celebrate its completion today. Featuring four floors of production space, a state-of -the art automated warehouse and offices, totalling 28,000 m², and a committed workforce of 300 employees, it will allow us to make full use of the many business opportunities we see here in China. The plant is fully equipped to manufacture products from all our Business Groups: Industrial Brakes, Industrial Actuators and Controls and Automotive E. It has also been designed with sustainability in mind; solar panels on the rooftop space are expected to generate an estimated 550,000 kWh of renewable energy per year. On 1 June 2023 we will start transferring production of our two current manufacturing locations in Suzhou and Shanghai to the new facility with the intention to be fully operational by the end of Q3 2023. We also expect to start production of six new Automotive E projects during 2023.”
