Lapp Group is set to soon put in
production its first cable
plant in China. The new Lapp
Cable Works Shanghai Company
Ltd production plant is located in
the Southeast of Shanghai in the
Lingang Industrial Park. It has a
total floor area of more than 11,000
sqm, with further expansion
possible. This would also be Lapp
Group's fifth operational
production facility in Asia.
At present, the production
machinery is being delivered, all of
it meeting the very latest
specifications. The extrusion
machine for the cable insulation
alone can be operated at a top speed
of 1 km per minute. The entire plant
produces using the lean method,
which has already brought about
significant gains in efficiency at the
Lapp Group's other production
locations around the world, a
statement by Lapp Group said.
Initially, the new plant will
manufacture product specially
certified for China (China
Compulsory Certification), as well
as standard products from the
ÖLFLEX® power and control cable
range. Within around two years,
production is due to be ramped up to
more than 3,000 km per month.
Lapp Cable Works Shanghai will
initially employ 30 people. The total
investment is 7.2 million euros.
