Neles’ new valve technology center in Jiaxing, China, has started its operations. The new plant strengthens Neles’ valve and related product production capabilities and increases availability for customers across various process industries, in China and globally. The greenfield investment to respond to the growing demand for reliable valve technologies was announced in October 2018.
Jiaxing’s manufacturing layout is designed with the latest technologies for efficient and environmentally friendly mass production of high-volume standard valve products.
The new plant will produce over 100,000 valves per year. With access to a variety of competitive logistic options, the products from Jiaxing can be shipped to customers or Neles supply centers around the globe with dramatically improved lead-times.
In addition to Jiaxing, Neles’ valve technology center in China in the Waigaoqiao Free Trade Zone in Shanghai continues operations, focusing on highly engineered products. Neles employs approximately 400 flow control specialists at four main locations in China, serving all process industries.
Today, Neles has valve technology or production centers around the world in North America, Germany, Finland, South Korea, Saudi Arabia, and India.
