HONSEL Umformtechnik Starts Production in Wuxi (China)
Since early March, German manufacturer HONSEL for nuts, studs, bolts, sleeves, coils, and rivets announced that it has started the production in Wuxi, China. Managing Director of HONSEL, Dr. Tim Siepmann said, “So far, we have our blind rivet nuts, rivets, bolts produced exclusively in Fröndenberg, which will remain so, at least in the European market. However, as many of our customers from the automotive industry have had their own production bases in China, if we can have our own production facilities there, too, it is more convenient for us to get close to each other and will accelerate our delivery and direct contact with customers in the Far East market.” The newly established company is called “HONSEL Fastener Wuxi,” which is headquartered in one of the vibrant business heartlands of China, Wuxi, usually called by people as “Little Shanghai.”
