In its bid to strengthen its foothold in Asian building markets, Uponor Corporation, the Finland-based systems & solutions provider for safe drinking water delivery and energy-efficient radiant heating & cooling infrastructure, has opened its first manufacturing facility in Taicang (China). The new plant is the company’s 14th manufacturing facility globally.

In Taicang, Uponor Asia will produce sustainable plumbing solutions and energy-efficient heating and cooling systems for the new residential and commercial building markets in China.

The facility in Shanghai is the base for all sales activities in East China, including also product management, engineering & design and the national marketing team.

“Our production base in Taicang is Uponor’s first production base in Asia. On approximately 5,000 square metres, we are producing plastic piping systems for both plumbing and indoor climate systems made from PEXa, PPR and PERT, serving China and other Asian countries,” said Werner Witte, vice president, Uponor Building Solutions - Asia.

Uponor has showrooms in Taicang and Shanghai, both of which are equipped with the latest radiant heating and cooling technology to guarantee a continuous healthy, comfortable and energy efficient indoor climate. They will also serve as proof to customers and partners alike of the advantages of radiant heating & cooling.
