For over 30 years in China
The Stäubli Group has been active in China for more than 30 years. After many years of sales and service for textile machines, a factory of 2,000 sqm was established in Hangzhou in 1997 for production of dobbies used by Chinese loom makers. In 2004 the connectors and robotics business was added, and at the same time the factory was extended by tripling the surface area.
As for the latest extension, with a construction time of only two years Stäubli Hangzhou has increased the area to 23’000 sqm.
