KAMAX Group, a leading supplier of high strength fasteners for the mobility industry, as well as a developer of complex form parts, precision parts, and assemblies, has opened a new plant in Changzhou, China. The new building expands KAMAX’s production capacity and product range – creating further space for innovations with a new R&D centre.
KAMAX’s new 40,000m2 plant is a pioneer in sustainability for the group, with solar panels being installed on the factory’s roof, which means that, depending on weather conditions, sunlight can cover more than 50% of the plant’s energy requirements – in-line with KAMAX’s aims to be climate neutral by 2037.
The new production plant will primarily focus on fasteners and precision parts for car engines, vehicle chassis and wheel hubs. In contrast, the second KAMAX production site in China, established for ten years, mainly manufacturers truck components. A total of 24,000 tonnes more production capacity per year, and 200 new jobs for the region, have been created by the new plant. Customers can, therefore, look forward to a broader range of products, faster delivery times and greater technical expertise.
KAMAX has 19 locations worldwide with 4,000 employees and is represented in all major economic regions. The company has been supplying the automotive industry since 1935.
