Multi-million-euro investment strengthens BEUMER’s global manufacturing network
BEUMER Group, a leading provider of material handling solutions, has officially opened a new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Taicang, China, marking a major expansion of the company’s presence in China.
The grand opening ceremony on 10 December 2025, held in Taicang, coincides with BEUMER China’s 20th anniversary and the BEUMER Group’s 90th anniversary globally.
This new high-tech plant is set to significantly enhance BEUMER’s global production capabilities and underscores the family-owned company’s long-term commitment to the Chinese market.
Swift time frame
The newly inaugurated Taicang facility occupies a land area of about 33,350sqm, with a built-up manufacturing space of roughly 23,000sqm across two large-scale workshops and additional auxiliary facilities. Construction was completed in an exceptionally swift timeframe of just 12 months, from the start of ground works in July 2024 to the handover in June 2025.
“As a family-owned business, we think in decades, not quarters, and this investment reflects our confidence in the continued growth and long-term partnership with our customers and the community here in China,” asserted Rudolf Hausladen, CEO, BEUMER Group.
Two decades of growth for BEUMER China: The inauguration of the Taicang facility comes as the capstone to BEUMER China’s 20-year growth journey. Established in 2005, BEUMER’s presence in China began with delivering a single product line.
Over the past two decades, the company’s footprint in China has expanded steadily into a comprehensive organization that delivers a full portfolio of solutions across multiple industries, including airport baggage handling systems, logistics systems and overland conveyor systems, as well as equipment for the cement, minerals, and mining sectors.
Scale and capabilities
BEUMER China has grown in both scale and capabilities – from a modest start to a workforce of around four hundred today – reflecting the sustained success of BEUMER’s solutions in the Chinese market. This journey illustrates BEUMER’s long-term commitment to China, developing local expertise and infrastructure to support its customers.
Advanced, sustainable manufacturing: The new Taicang facility is designed as a modern, digital manufacturing base that aligns with BEUMER’s global standards for innovation and sustainability.
Commitment to long-term partnership: By investing in local manufacturing and embracing advanced digital production techniques in China, BEUMER is strengthening its role as a long-term partner to customers in the region, offering them not only technologically advanced solutions but also the reliability of local support and supply.
