Bomag extends Chinese factory
11 April 2012
Bomag has extended its factory in Fengxian, China and added a training facility at the same site. It is the second time Bomag has increased production capacity in China since it first started manufacturing there ten years ago.
Bomag first opened a factory in Fengxian, near Shanghai, in 2002 as a joint venture with dealer Boma. Bomag fully acquired the business in 2006. In 2007 it moved production to a new, larger 34000 m2 site in Fengxian, which included a 8100 m2 factory. It is this factory which has now been extended by 5300 m2, to take the total production area to 13400 m2.
Other developments in have included the acquisition of Boma in 2010, which means the manufacturer owns its sales network in China.
In addition to extending the factory, Bomag has added a training centre at the site in Fengxian. "With this training centre in China, BOMAG has clearly indicated its strong commitment to customer service and the training of sales staff and service engineers in China and the Asian region. In turn, this will ensure more effective support and transfer of expertise," said a company statement.
