DMG MORI strengthens production in China

DMG MORI plans to start construction of a 35,000 m2 , highly automated and consistently digitized production plant for 5-axis milling machines in Pinghu near Shanghai.

"We are building the world's most modern production plant in Pinghu for € 75 million and are showing the full potential of our holistic technology solutions: flexible automation, end-to-end digitization, cutting-edge flow assembly with AGVs for 5-axis milling machines", says Christian Thönes, Chairman of the Executive Board of DMG MORI AKTIENGESELLSCHAFT. "Made in China – for China": with this goal and a high level of value added depth, DMG MORI produces 5-axis milling machines of the DMU series. The state-of-the-art production is aligned to an annual capacity of over 2,200 machines. The new site covers a total area of 70,000 m². The Grand Opening of DMG MORI Pinghu Manufacturing Solutions is scheduled for the end of 2022. Pinghu is located in the middle of the Yangtze River Delta – one of the most dynamic economic zones in China – and has developed rapidly in terms of economy and technology due to its geographical advantages.
