According to the company, the opening ceremony consisted of several speeches, a ribbon cutting and entertainment. Guests were taken on a guided tour of the new plant before a meal was served.

Representatives from Polykemi’s headquarters included third-generation company owners Gustav Hugoson and Herman Hugosson, who made a speech thanking the Chinese management team and all employees for their hard work and well-executed project.

“Polykemi China made the long-term planning for investment in Chongqing more than 10 years ago,” Gustav Hugoson said during the joint speech.

Polykemi Asia Pacific General Manager Magnus Lindahl thanked the Jiangjin District and Shuangfu Industrial Park for their cooperation and support of the project. “Since entering the Chinese market in 2005, Polykemi Group has maintained continuous and stable growth and profitability, and the sales business in Chongqing has been very successful,” he said during his speech. “We will continue the great work here to create a prosperous and bright future together.”

Polykemi says its Chongqing office was founded in 2010 to develop business in the southwest region of China. After more than a decade, the company says it has achieved a good reputation with the major industrial fields in Chongqing and the nearby city of Chengdu, especially in the automobile and general machinery industries. The company adds that new projects and customer demands continue to rise in the southwest region.

“We have cooperated with some automotive customers for more than a decade,” Lindahl said during his speech. “Their development has contributed to an increased industry for automotive parts in the surrounding areas. With this second factory, we can now meet the demands and provide localized services for customers in southwest China.”
