The Saertex Group is expanding its production capacity in Asia with the establishment of Saertex SCF China.
The production of technical carbon textiles for the wind energy, automotive and aerospace industries is scheduled to commence at the new plant in Pinghu, near Shanghai, in March 2026.
It is being equipped with modern production technology for the manufacturing of carbon NCFs (non-crimp fabrics) to meet the highest quality standards. Customers will benefit from optimised supply chains, shorter lead times and the improved availability of Saertex products across the Chinese market.
“China is a key market for innovative lightweight solutions and offers great potential for our carbon fabrics,” says Saertex CEO Roland Nowicki. “With our new location in Pinghu, we are establishing a base that will enable us to supply customers in China even more efficiently and flexibly.”
The establishment of Saertex SCF China marks an important milestone in the company’s global growth strategy and strengthens the company’s presence in one of the most dynamic and fast-growing regions for composite materials.
