New paragon Lead Plant Inaugurated in China

paragon GmbH & Co. KGaA celebrated the grand opening of its new state-of-the-art plant in Kunshan, China, in mid-July. This facility replaces their previous plant, which had been operational since 2015, and offers over 4,000 square meters of production and office space.

The Kunshan plant will serve as the global lead plant for future paragon production facilities and supports the planned growth with Chinese car manufacturers. The construction took only six months, followed by a smooth relocation process during ongoing production that lasted three weeks.

Managed by Wolfgang Ketter since 2015, the Kunshan subsidiary has developed a local development team and supplies 30 different customers in China. Employing 70 people, the plant locally produces a broad product range including air quality sensors, cable assemblies, and adaptive spoilers for electric vehicles.

During the opening, numerous guests from politics, customers, and suppliers attended the ceremony. The event featured tours of the facility and German culinary delights.
