Miba has recently celebrated the official opening of the second phase of development at its site in Suzhou Industrial Park, 90 km west of Shanghai, China. The expansion sees a tripling of the plant’s production area and represents a total investment of around €35 million.

The company sees potential for major growth opportunities in China, primarily in the passenger vehicle, truck and ship market. The site expansion will allow local production of engine bearings, sintered Powder Metallurgy components and innovative coatings. The Friction division will also begin production of friction materials at the Suzhou site in the near future.
