Wintec approved the expansion in order to respond to the growing demand for its machinery from its expanded client base in Asia.

Wintec, the Chinese business of packaging equipment manufacturer Engel, has announced that it will invest €10 million to expand the production capacity of its Changzhou manufacturing facility.

The facility produces Wintec’s injection moulding machines for plastic packaging, and the company estimates that the expansion will double the plant’s production capacity.

Wintec approved the expansion in order to respond to the growing demand for its machinery from its expanded client base in Asia.

Construction work is expected to begin in autumn 2018, and the company says that the facility should be fully operational by the fourth quarter of the coming year.

Additionally, Wintec has announced that it will be expanding the sale of its range of machinery to clients in the US, Mexican, Canadian and Brazilian markets from May 2018, representing the first time that Wintec has made its products available outside of Asia.
