Nypro will close injection molding plant in Guangzhou

Nypro Inc. will close its plant in Guangzhou and move production to its plant in Shenzhen. The consolidation is expected to be completed by February 2010. The Clinton-based company is 揷onsolidating to fewer, larger, fullservice manufacturing operations in order to better serve our customers with greater scope and scale,?said Nelson Ngai, group vice president of consumer and electronics. All of the approximately 1,000 workers at Guangzhou have been offered opportunities to relocate to either Shenzhen or to Nypro's two other Chinese plants in Suzhou in eastern China and Tianjin in northern China, the company said. When the consolidation is complete, Nypro Shenzhen, which currently has 3,000 employees, will have 120 injection molding machines ranging from 35- 500 tons of clamping force. It currently has about 70 presses. The Shenzhen and Guangzhou plants both make products for consumer and household goods and the electronics industries, as well as some health care products. The Shenzhen plant primarily makes wireless products, while Guangzhou has made a greater variety of electronic products. www.nypro.comWomens Running Shoes
