Germany-based engineering company Manz AG has opened a new production facility in Suzhou, China – two hours west of Shanghai.
In the new fab, Manz will produce manufacturing equipment for the photovoltaics and flat-panel display industries, as well as equipment for the printed circuit board market.
‘We needed to move closer to the big players in our target industries in order to react to their fast-evolving need for ever-more-efficient hightech machinery,’ says Dieter Manz, founder and CEO. The Suzhou fab will also house a technology and training center.
