To further expand its regional commitment in China, Bosch Packaging Technology intends to build a second production facility in Chengdu, Pujiang county in Sichuan province.
The investment volume amounts to €17m. An agreement concerning the use of a site of 66,000 square meters has now been signed.
“10 years ago, we started up in China with 14 associates,” said Friedbert Klefenz, president of Bosch Packaging Technology. “Since then, our sales have continuously increased.”
In China, the company employs some 400 associates at its site in Hangzhou. This year, Bosch Packaging Technology expects to reach sales of around €85m in the Chinese market, with products manufactured either locally or in predominantly European Bosch factories.
Bosch will start operations in Chengdu at the beginning of next year in a leased production hall. Construction work for the new plant is set to start in 2014. A year later, the first expansion phase will be completed when a building of 13,500 square meters of floor space will be ready for occupation.
The production area will occupy 7,200 square meters of the total floor space. By that time, the site in Chengdu will employ 300 associates.
The new facility will enable Bosch to serve the pharma, food and confectionery sectors with packaging machines of medium output capacity.
