Opening speech of Mr. Sun Shaojun, Executive President, Weichai Power
Linde Hydraulics has opened a new plant in Weifang, a city on the east coast of China with a population of nine million inhabitants.
After the branch in Xiamen, this is the first Linde Hydraulics plant with extensive production in Asia. Parallel to the expansion of production and installation, a sales and service center was established and opened at the beginning of the year.
The employees at the new plant were specially trained for their new tasks for over one and a half years at the Linde Hydraulics location in Xiamen; further training units were carried out at both the new location in Weifang and in Aschaffenburg. The service, sales and application engineers were also trained by the Linde Hydraulics Training Center in Aschaffenburg.
