Activities in China began in 1995 in the Changchun region with a MAG (then Ex-Cell-O) joint venture. Operations were moved to a new plant in 2011, considerably expanding the capacity for design, R&D, manufacturing and installation of vertical and horizontal machining centers, cold-forming machines, transfer lines and special-purpose machines.
In addition to its headquarters in Beijing, the new plant in Shanghai with 1,300 m 2 of floor space was opened in October 2014. This plant acts as a technical center and as a central service center in China with comprehensive application, training and support capacities, including a spindle repair service. The second construction phase with a further 900 m 2 was completed in May 2018.
