With the aim of reinforcing further core manufacturing capabilities and streamlining execution, GWC Italia have decided to stop production in China by year-end, transforming China’s footprint from manufacturing to trading.
Current China’s valve production will be moved to GWC ITALIA’s two existing plants (Italy and US) where new investments in capacity expansion have already been launched. China is however confirmed part of their growth strategy. The legal entity in Shanghai will be transformed into a trading company and the present Chinese supplier base further developed. This way they are re-focusing GWC ITALIA towards what they do best and building a stronger Group.
The fundamentals of the industry we operate in remain strong and GWC ITALIA’s current trading is very encouraging, standing out among peer competition worldwide. They continue pushing on.
