SAF-HOLLAND Group is significantly expanding its production capacity in China to realize the region's strong expected organic growth in the years ahead, particularly for modern trailer axle and suspension systems. Therefore, the Group plans to increase investment in 2018 and spend a high single-digit million euro amount in 2018 in a new central production center with manufacturing space of around 30,000 m2. The center is scheduled to commence operations already in the first half of 2019. After sales of around EUR 40 million in China in 2016, SAF-HOLLAND plans to nearly triple its sales in the region to well above EUR 100 million by 2020.
