IMI Critical Engineering is a global provider of flow control solutions for energy and process industries. IMI Critical is co-locating three businesses in China into a new Greater China headquarters on 1 February 2016. The new office is in Qingpu, a district in the western 
Shanghai, and will combine the offices, service centre & manufacturing facilities of IMI Critical, Shanghai CCI Power Control Equipment Co., Ltd. and IMI Z&J Shanghai. The move comes after IMI Critical announced in 2015 a 100M RMB investment in building a new factory in Shanghai and its intention to set up a full engineering team in Shanghai, notwithstanding the current tough economic climate. The new factory will take a year to complete, and will supply custom-engineered valves, actuation and control systems for use in the power industry. “Our major investments are made from a perspective spanning 10 or even 20 years,” said Roy Twite, IMI Critical’s DMD, “and looking forward, we have strong confidence in the Chinese economy.”
