Extrusion Asia Edition 1-2023

29 Extrusion Asia Edition 1/2023 Investments in production, research and development Despite restrictions due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the past three years have been EREMA's most successful years on the Chinese market in terms of sales. During this time, a spare parts warehouse was set up at the Shanghai branch, which was founded 20 years ago, and the team of technicians who com- mission recycling machines at customers' premises has been ex- panded. At the company's headquarters in Austria, the completion of a new R&D centre is currently well under way. This will bring to- gether cross-departmental and cross-company test machinery and a laboratory for research and development. For carrying out trial runs in the course of research and development work, a full range of machines will be available at the centre in a few weeks, with which the entire recycling process, including the processes upstream and downstream of extrusion, can be tried out. The expansion of the production areas has already been completed, increasing production capacity by around 60 per- cent.
