Due to the strict specifications stipulated for the manufacturing processes, Sandvik required a floor with a load capacity of 30 t and a 6,000 m² testing area outside the plant when selecting the location. To meet this requirement, the Commerce Bureau of Changzhou National High-Tech Zone spent nearly a year looking for a suitable location and finally found the ideal location in Menghe Town. The new factory is expected to be ready for trial production in May and reach its designed capacity in the second half of the year.
