BOBST inaugurates new production site and Competence Center in Changzhou, China

BOBST has announced the official opening of Bobst Changzhou Co. Ltd, BOBST’s second production facility in China. The new site is a state-of-the-art greenfield facility located in Changzhou, in the Jiangsu province, and is dedicated to web-fed printing and converting technologies for flexible materials.

BOBST has been manufacturing web-fed gravure printing presses since the early years of 2000 at Bobst Shanghai, but the requirements of increased production capacity and a news thrust in the activities of R&D focused on local needs in terms of equipment, processes and available services, have led to the setting up of a dedicated facility.

“The opening of the new plant brings is a major step in the next phase of the development of our activities in China for the Chinese market,” comments Erik Bothorel, Head of the Business Unit Web-fed and Member of Bobst Group Executive Committee. “It is the embodiment of our long-standing commitment to the highest BOBST manufacturing standards and to the local development of gravure printing and lamination solutions, while we continue consolidating our leadership in Asia”.
