Damen Marine Components (DMC) has opened a brand new facility in Jiangyin, China.
DMC began operations in China in 2005 in a facility located in Suzhou. With an increasing need for more production space, and limited expansion possibilities in Suzhou, DMC began the search for a new location over four years ago. Jiangyin was chosen for its strategic position close to customers and the possibility for future expansion.
Jiangyin Production Plant
The new facility has been built from the ground up, with the result being a streamlined and customised production site. At 11,000 sqm, the Jiangyin production plant is nearly double the size of the Suzhou facility.
DMC Jiangyin will continue to produce propeller nozzles, rudders, special constructions and winches. It also allows DMC to broaden its portfolio with additional products such as hydraulic winches and thruster tunnels. The plant is equipped with renewed production systems that include its own spinning systems for propeller nozzles and grinding and sanding robots.
Employee numbers are expected to grow to 120, and the facility will service Asia, the Middle East and the US west coast.
