As part of its plan for
international development in strategic areas, LU-VE Group is starting the
project of expanding its production facility in China, which is currently
located in the Science Development Zone of Chiangshu. The plan provides for
transfer from the Province of Jiangsu to Tianmen in the Province of Hubei (South-central
China).
The new production facility will be
called LU-VE Tianmen. The total structural surface area will increase from the
present 7,000 to over 19,000 m2. 15,000 m2 of this area
will be dedicated to production, while a two-story building (2,000 m2)
will house the offices; another 2.000 m2
will be reserved for dormitories and the company restaurant. The development
plans also provide for a further possible expansion of 10.000 m2
from 2021. The new LU-VE Tianmen
plant (which will employ over 70% of the current workforce in the Changshu
factory) will be able to start production in autumn, reaching full operation in
2019.
In Europa meanwhile, LU-VE Group is doubling its own facility in Gliwice (Poland): a new-area total of 60,000 m2 of
which 20,000 m2 are covered. The project, which began in 2017,
involves an investment of €36 million over five years.
