Coperion has equipped a special assembly facility for its modular compounding systems at its production site in Shanghai, China. This new 2,000 m² facility will help to cope with the increasing demand for modular compounding systems in the rapidly developing markets of the Far East. As is already the case in Europe and America, Coperion can now design and build any compounding line - conventional or modular - close to the customer. Moreover, every modular compounding system built by Coperion is to a certain extent unique, as it is configured to the customer's specific requirements for the product to be compounded. The assembled compounding system is ready for production and trials can therefore be carried out with the actual product. This new assembly facility in Shanghai will also support local value chain activities, as a large proportion of components will be sourced locally. The Shanghai production site was built 16 years ago as part of Coperion¡¯s strategy of global presence and has been continually enlarged and improved ever since.
