Trelleborg Inaugurates Wuxi, China Plant

The Trelleborg Group has inaugurated its newly constructed Chinese plant Wuxi , part of expansive Shanghai region. The Wuxi plant, which has approximately 300 employees, will produce antivibration systems and other vehicle components. The plant replaces an earlier Trelleborg facility in Wuxi and represents a doubling of production capacity. According to a company statement, the new facility has a total area of nearly 20,000 square metres and has been designed according to strictest environmental considerations. Trelleborg Automotive has also recently opened a technical centre in Shanghai.

“This is another stage in strengthening our leading position in China,” says George Caplea, president of the Trelleborg Automotive business area. “We now have a best-in-class facility with enough capacity to meet growing demand, while we are also able to offer very favourable technical-development capacity, benefiting both domestic and international customers.”
