April 12, 2023, Changzhou. Technology company Continental Group has announced the launch of Phase III expansion of its second joint venture in China with Jiangsu Changshun Group in Changzhou.
During the entire project, the Changzhou plant will use part of the existing land and an additional 9.2 mu (approximately 6,000 square meters) of land to construct approximately 12,000 square meters of plant, approximately 3,250 square meters of raw material warehouse and approximately 1,500 square meters of supporting public facilities, and convert approximately 1,000 square meters of the existing plant. The project is scheduled to be completed by May 2024.

In terms of equipment, the Phase III expansion project will purchase coater, printing press, pulp mixing equipment, molding machines and various types of auxiliary and environmental equipment. It is expected that the Changzhou plant will have an annual capacity of 13 million square meters of high-performance composite materials and an annual capacity of 35 million square meters of surface materials.

Dr. Dirk Leiss, head of Continental’s Surface Solutions business group, said, “As the world’s largest consumer of automobiles, China’s automotive market has a lot of room to grow. In this way, we see more and more Chinese car owners begin to have a higher pursuit of materials, design and green interior. The Phase III expansion project of Continental’s Changzhou plant will not only better meet the diverse needs of Chinese car owners in terms of vehicle interior, but also create favorable conditions for the company to gain a better foothold in the Chinese surface materials application market by further improving the production capacity of high-quality surface materials. We will also continue to expand our technology development, production and operation in the Chinese market, and provide more intelligent and sustainable surface solutions to drive the growth of the local auto industry.”
