A ceremony for the opening of the expanded manufacturing plant was held in China, attended by Weinig board members.
Weinig AG, www.weinig.com, is expanding its capacity to produce solid wood processing machinery with an addition to the company's plant in China.
The manufacturing plant, located in Yantai, Shandong province, will expand its current 800 square-meter production area to a total of 12,000 square meters. The expanded plant will produce Unicontrol 6 window machines solely for the domestic market in China, in response to strong growth in China's wood processing industry. The main factory in Tauberbischofsheim, Germany, will continue to produce the company's other machinery offerings.
"This means that the expansion of the plant in Yantai will not compete in any way with the production facility in Tauberbischofsheim; on the contrary, it strengthens its position," said Wolfgang Poschl, chairman of the board.
