Material handling supplier BEUMER Group has opened a new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Taicang, China, marking a major expansion of the company’s presence in the country.
A grand opening ceremony was held on December 10, a date which coincided with BEUMER China’s 20th anniversary and the BEUMER Group’s 90th anniversary globally.
The company said the high-tech plant, which sits on a land area of about 33,350 square meters and has manufacturing space of about 23,000 sq. m. across two workshops, will significantly enhance its global production capabilities and underscores the family-owned company’s long-term commitment to the Chinese market.
Construction of the campus was completed quickly – just 12 months – from the start of ground works in July 2024 to the handover in June 2025. The new site is now fully integrated into BEUMER’s global manufacturing network.
As part of establishing this new base, BEUMER said it also set up two new wholly owned foreign enterprises (WOFE) in Taicang, China, to anchor its expanded operations.
“This opening is a proud moment for our team in China and for BEUMER Group as a whole,” said Rudolf Hausladen, CEO.
“As a family-owned business, we think in decades, not quarters, and this investment reflects our confidence in the continued growth and long-term partnership with our customers and the community here in China.”
Established in 2005, BEUMER’s presence in China began with delivering a single product line. Over the past two decades, the company’s footprint in China has expanded steadily into a comprehensive organization that delivers a full portfolio of solutions across multiple industries, including airport baggage handling systems, logistics systems and overland conveyor systems, as well as equipment for the cement, minerals, and mining sectors.
Hausladen noted that the foundation built over the past 20 years in China has been critical to the company’s success: “Our journey in China has always been about building trust and delivering excellence. This new facility is not just an investment in production capacity; it’s an investment in the next decades of partnership with our customers and in the development of our BEUMER footprint in China.”
