New plant in China
ebm-papst invests 30 million euros in Xi'an site
Fan and motor manufacturer ebm-papst is investing 30 million euros in the construction of a new plant at its site in Xi'an. From summer 2019, fan solutions for the Asian market are to be produced in the capital of Shaanxi province on an area of 27,000 square meters.
"The demand for our products on the Asian market is constantly increasing, so we need additional production capacity alongside our plant in Shanghai. With the new building, we are implementing a further step in our internationalization strategy "Structure 2020" and the associated further localization in Asia," says Stefan Brandl, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the ebm-papst Group.
The decision in favor of the new location near Xi'an, a city with a population of twelve million, is supported by the high availability of qualified specialists and excellent transport and logistical connections.
"In addition to China, we also have our sights set on the emerging markets, which are to be supplied with products from our new location in the future," says Thomas Nürnberger, Managing Director of ebm-papst China. "These include, above all, the Asean states with countries such as Indonesia, the Philippines and Thailand, which are on the threshold from developing countries to industrialized nations."
ebm-papst has been represented in China since 1996 and currently employs around 1,800 people locally. The head office, which also houses the development center for products for the Asian market, is located in the Waigaoqiao free trade zone (Shanghai), while the production plant is in Nanhui (Shanghai). Two further sites are located in Hong Kong and Qingdao.
