Based on www.ahlener-zeitung.de on November 3, in view of the rapid and smooth development of business in China, Germany filtering equipment manufacturer Hengst determined to invest EUR3m to expand the scale of filter assembly plant in Kunshan China. The company entered Chinese market in 2005 and built a plant with an area of 30,000 sq m in Kunshan to manufacture auto parts-filter equipment. The added investment is used to newly construct a plant with an area of 10,000 sq m on the original basis. It is estimated to be completed and launched into production in 2009. The company claimed that due to demand for business development, further investment will be probable and expanding investment in China won’t have the impact on production in Muenster and Norwalde.
