CIRCOR has recently opened for business at its expanded 6,000 sqm plant in the city of Weihai, Shandong province. The fully integrated facility is providing end-to-end manufacturing, sales and service to commercial marine and industrial customers in the region.
At the new facility, CIRCOR will manufacture commercial marine packages, control valves, three-screw positive displacement pumps, progressing cavity pumps and centrifugal pumps. In addition, the Weihai team will offer engineering expertise and after-sales support to ensure a localized and complete value chain, with an emphasis on faster quotes and shorter lead times.
CIRCOR’s expansion in the Weihai Economic & Technological Development Zone (ETDZ) reinforces the company’s capacity to provide strong support and foster proximity to new and longtime flow control customers as well as the regional supplier base.
Ashish Dutta, Vice President, CIRCOR China and Industrial APAC, said, “The team completed the plant move and setup while paying special attention to COVID-19 safety protocols, with no disruption to supply and shipments.”
“Expanding in the region, especially in the commercial marine sector, is important to CIRCOR’s continuing growth as a global supplier,” said Scott Buckhout, CIRCOR CEO. “Being close to our customers gives us the strong foundation we need to help everyone succeed.”
