ALL ABOUT IDENTITY

New China Plant opens with a BANG! 

It was an honour and a privilege to participate in the opening celebrations of Albert Smith China’s new plant in Huangdu, Shanghai. The day’s celebrations were a mixture of Chinese tradition and formality, concluding in (of course!) the thunder of a magnificent fireworks display. 

The opening was attended by dignitaries, customers, Government officials, as well as representatives of other Albert Smith Group country offices globally. 

This new, modern plant is a significant milestone for Albert Smith China. It follows years of steady expansion in the previous plant, which created some inefficiency that is now well behind them. The new facilities provide just on 10,000m2 of safe and efficient under-roof manufacturing and office space, as well as another 7000m2 externally. 

It is closer to the centre of Shanghai than the old plant and in very easy reach of two of Shanghai’s main highways. 

This new plant is a testament to the nine years of hard work by all involved, building a ‘green-grass’ site from conception, and resulting in what is today a modern and practical facility designed to support our continuing growth in China well into the future. 

To our CEO Danny Ku and his team at Albert Smith China, well done and sincere congratulations!
