Asia
Since the middle of 2007 Waelzholz has two subsidiaries in Asia. Waelzholz New Material (Taicang) Co., Ltd. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Waelzholz. Since the beginning of 2014 we provide the Asian market with locally manufactured high-quality steel strip. With the extension of Waelzholz New Material (Taicang) Co. Ltd. to become the first German state-of-the-art cold rolling mill in China we are able supply an annual volume of up to 70.000 metric tons. A powerful four-high rolling stand as well as several high convection batch annealing units, completing the existing slitting and cut-to-length lines, enable us to process raw material provided by local suppliers. Thus we perform the entire value creation locally.
Taicang Waelzholz – Kern-Liebers New Material Co., Ltd. is a joint venture between our longtime customer Hugo Kern and Liebers GmbH & Co. KG and Waelzholz. This subsidiary focuses on the production of texture rolled steel Strip. Both companies are situated in Taicang, an emerging industrial town about 60 km (37 miles) north of Shanghai.
