Third production building
Endress+Hauser grows in China
Five years after the last expansion, Endress+Hauser has once again increased its production capacity in China. The third plant at this location was built in Suzhou, 100 kilometers west of Shanghai. An additional 16,500 square meters of floor space is now available.
The new building in the Suzhou Industrial Park, which is home to over 20,000 companies on 450 square kilometers, was officially opened in the presence of representatives from politics and business, customers and employees. The new production site expands the capacities of the competence centers for flow measurement technology, liquid analysis and temperature measurement technology.
"Our investment of around 44 million euros underlines the great importance of the Chinese market," says Dr. Bernd-Josef Schäfer, Managing Director of flow measurement specialist Endress+Hauser Flowtec, based in Reinach, Switzerland.
In addition to its portfolio of measuring devices, the company also offers global support through services. These enable customers to optimize their process engineering processes over the entire life cycle of a system - for example through the fully traceable calibration of flowmeters.
Until now, Endress+Hauser has been able to calibrate flowmeters with a pipe diameter of two to 1,200 millimetres at the facilities in Suzhou. In future, electromagnetic flowmeters with nominal diameters of up to 3,000 millimeters can be calibrated in China. The new system works with a maximum measurement uncertainty of plus/minus 0.05 percent. This corresponds to a deviation of just 0.1 liters per 200 liters - or a glass of champagne to the filling of a bathtub.
Water and wastewater sector drives growth
Electromagnetic flowmeters with large nominal diameters are frequently used in the water and wastewater industry. The nationwide expansion of the water supply is one of the most important goals in China. Endress+Hauser has established itself in this growth market in recent years with measuring devices that reliably and accurately measure water flows in treatment plants or distribution stations.
The company has had its own sales center in China since 1995. Today, over 420 sales employees work in Shanghai, Beijing and eleven other offices. The flowmeter production facility in Suzhou was opened in 2004; level, pressure and temperature measurement technology and liquid analysis followed in a second building in 2006. A total of around 290 employees work in production in Suzhou, which supplies the Chinese market as well as other countries in Asia. as
