The inauguration was attended by Italian and Chinese authorities.

With a total investment of more than EUR 10 million, the new 15,000m2 facility is designed to promote the PiovanGroup in Asia-Pacific as a leading player in the development and production of complete automation systems for plastics processing, food powders and refrigeration solutions.

The new facility will provide equipment, engineering consulting, training, and after-sales service to all subsidiaries in the Group’s APAC region, including Piovan Asia Pacific in Bangkok, Piovan Vietnam in Ho Chi Minh City, Piovan Japan in Kobe, Piovan Korea in Seoul, South Korea, Piovan Indonesia in Jakarta, and Conair Asia in Taiwan and Singapore.

The facility also shows the Group’s commitment to sustainability, for example, in the production of green energy, estimated to be 1MWh annually, provided by the solar panel system. The Heat Transfer Division within Piovan Industrial Automation will also provide a full range of cooling systems for industrial applications.

“China is a market that the Group has always believed in by opening its first production site outside Italy 20 years ago. We were convinced that China was becoming the manufacturing engine of the world. The facts and growth in recent years have confirmed this, and we are confident of future successes,” said Filippo Zuppichin, CEO of PiovanGroup.
