Around 500 guests convened on May 8, 2018, in Nanjing, China, to celebrate the opening of its new production facility with Fette Compacting and LMT Tools. The new company site was built in just under a year on an area spanning more than 50,000 square meters. The foundations were laid in spring 2017 and operations started moving into the production building in fall of that same year.
Fette Compacting customers can test their products on tablet presses at this new site. By conducting test runs in China instead of Germany, these companies save both time and money.
The new plant sees Fette Compacting doubling its production capacity in China. The company has been represented in Nanjing since 2004 where it manufactures tablet presses primarily for the Asian market. The tool specialist LMT Tools – part of the LMT Group like Fette Compacting – is also extending its range of services at the new site.
