The opening of our first factory in Jintan (Changzhou) marks a significant step in our international growth strategy.

The new location in China's industrial center brings us closer to our customers in the fields of electromobility, industry, and energy—and stands for sustainable growth, technological strength, and local partnership.

“Jintan is more than just a production site – it is a strategic step towards innovation, proximity, and stable supply chains.”

Our new plant in Jintan has a modern production area of more than 7,000 square meters spread over three levels.

A state-of-the-art manufacturing environment has been created that meets the highest standards of quality and efficiency.

Special attention has been paid to sustainability: the entire site is powered 100% by electricity from renewable sources.

We are also aiming for internationally recognized LEED Silver certification – further proof of our commitment to energy-efficient and resource-saving production.

Once fully operational, the site will create over 100 skilled jobs. We were able to create more than 150 local jobs during the construction phase alone – a strong signal of our regional responsibility and long-term commitment to the local community.

We were able to create over 150 local jobs during the construction phase alone.The first 25 employees started work in August. We also plan to work closely with regional universities and research institutions to promote local expertise and develop joint innovations.

“As a family business, we think long-term – in generations, not quarters.” – Dr. Felix Heusler, CFO

With the new plant in Jintan, we are sending a clear signal: for sustainable production, global customer proximity, and the consistent expansion of our technological excellence – worldwide.
