Gurit inaugurates Chinese facility

GURIT OF Wattwil, Switzerland, has inaugurated its purpose-built production site in Yat-Sen Scientific Industrial Park, Wuqing, Tianjin, China. Gurit (Tianjin) Composite Materials Co Ltd incorporates a 10 000 m2 building complex and is located on 30 000 m2 of land, giving scope for future expansion.

The company currently operates two prepreg lines in China as well as various expansion ovens and kitting lines for structural foam products. The kitting of structural foam products, which began in April, has now been relocated to the company’s own buildings.

The majority of the locally produced products will be delivered to international and local customers in the Asian wind energy market, while smaller volumes may also go into marine and transportation applications.
