February 5, 2019 - The Kistler Group announced the opening of its new office in Shanghai on 5 February, on the occasion of the Chinese New Year festival. The building strengthens the Swiss corporation's presence on the Chinese market, enabling it to offer products and services from one single source to local customers in the future.
The new office is located in the Shanghai-Hongqiao Business Park – a stone's throw from China's National Exhibition and Convention Center, with access to expressways, the rail station and the airport. With an area of some 4 200 m 2 , the seven-story building accommodates workplaces for about 100 employees, bringing the know-how of Kistler's Automotive Research & Test, Sensor Technology and Industrial Process Control Divisions together under one roof. The building also houses a Tech Center to support customers with services such as calibration, training, technical adaptations and repairs.
Another outstanding feature is the vast exhibition space in the entrance area, which includes an application-based presentation of Kistler's concept for Industry 4.0 alongside the company's latest products and solutions.
The Kistler Group, headquartered in Winterthur (Switzerland), has already been represented on the Chinese market for over 20 years. In fall 2018, the family-managed corporation acquired LIK, the Chinese special-purpose machinery manufacturer: as well as strengthening its presence in China's dynamic vehicle market.
