MULTIVAC signed an investment agreement to construct a new production facility in Taicang, Jiangsu province
MULTIVAC has signed an investment agreement to establish a new production company in Taicang in China. The new production facility will enable the company to respondo to the requirements of customers in China with even greater speed and focus. The production of packaging machines and their peripheral components is planned for the new site. In addition to manufacturing, the Taicang facility will also have development and design departments. Steven Shen, who has worked for MULTIVAC since 2012, most recently as Technical Manager for the MULTIVAC sales company in China, is taking over the management of the new company beginning March 1, 2019. 
 
“China is a significant market for us. This makes the establishment of a local production facility a logical step for us and a further stage in ex-panding our global production and sales network. Our objective is to achieve shorter delivery times for our customers and to be able to re-spond even more rapidly to the needs of local customers,” explained Guido Spix, Director and Group COO/CTO.

A production hall and office area of around 4,300 square metres in total has been rented for the new production company. Thermoforming packaging machines, traysealers, chamber machines, peripheral components and spare parts are all due to be manufactured in the new factory for the Chinese market. The start of production is planned for the end of 2019. In addition to this, a local R&D department will be set up on the site, so that it will be possible to react in a more targeted way to the de-velopment needs of regional customers. It is expected that in the next three years up to 100 jobs will be created at the Taicang site. 
 
MULTIVAC China was founded in 2008. Today MULTIVAC in Greater Chi-na has a comprehensive sales and service network with around 80 em-ployees. The main office is located in Shanghai, and there are subsidiar-ies in Beijing, Wuhan, Hongkong and Taiwan. A state-of-the-art Training and Application Center has been set up in Shanghai, and there is also one in Beijing, which specialises in meat processing. 
 
In addition to the planned factory in China, MULTIVAC has twelve addi-tional production sites in Germany, Austria, Bulgaria, Spain, Brazil, Japan, Finland and the USA, as well as more than 80 sales and service compa-nies worldwide.
