LEHVOSS expand compounding and technology centre in China

LEHVOSS production facility, which was opened in 2016, has moved to a larger premises due to the growth of the LEHVOSS compound activities (CPM) in China and Korea.

On 30th August, the opening ceremony of the new plant took place in the presence of more than 100 guests from China and overseas - customers, business partners and representatives of the local government and the Kunshan German Industrial Park. 

The total area of the new plant and the technology centre doubles to a total of 5,000 m2. The associated increase in production capacity allows the LEHVOSS Group to continue to grow with existing customers and to further expand its market position in the dynamic Chinese market. The demand for LUVOCOM high-performance compounds, LUVOTECH technical compounds - especially the LUVOTECH eco compounds - and LUVOBATCH masterbatches remains high. 

With the expansion of the research and technology centre, the LEHVOSS Group ensures that local customer needs and material requirements are met quickly and in the best possible way. The rapidly growing high-tech industries in China require ever better and more efficient materials. The LEHVOSS Group can serve this with its 50 years of experience in material development and compounding. Continuous further development regularly pushes the limits of what is possible for thermoplastic materials. LEHVOSS is also pursuing the goal of creating real added value for its customers in Asia. 

“We are proud to have achieved a very strong presence and significant growth in China in just a few years. With this move, we are well prepared for further growth and new challenges. We can continue to offer our customers excellent service and leading products,” said Xuesong Zhang, managing director of LEHVOSS (Shanghai) Chemical and president of LEHVOSS China.
