MAPLAN starts operation in China

Recently, MAPLAN started production in Wujin National technologically advanced industrial estate in Changzhou,Jiangsu Province.

The new factory named MAPLAN (Changzhou) Rubber Machinery Co. Ltd was located in Changzhou in April 2017.

Covering an area of 4,000 square metres, the plant has a production capacity of over 200 machines per year, and planned to complete 10 machines‘ production and assembling. 

Although recently the absolute growth figure has declined somewhat, Asia still remains the fastest growing market worldwide. Automobile production in China is booming; car production has increased eight-fold since 2005. This sector is central for MAPLAN as the machine component manufacturer’s injection moulding machines are used in the automotive industry to produce rubber-metal parts for vibration dampening. “If you want to be successful in the global market, you have to hone production, decrease costs and be represented at locations around the world. We are successfully implementing this strategy and have been rewarded in 2017 with the best situation in the our company’s history with regards to orders”, says Wolfgang Meyer,MAPLAN CEO .
