Alimak Hek's new facility in China

The move is seen as a key step for the Alimek Hek group which now produces equipment in Europe, USA and Asia.
Owned by Alimak Hek Vertical Access Equipment (Changshu) Company, the new factory is on a large site and as well as producing equipment will also be a sales and service base for customers in China.

The facility will be a base for production, sales and service

The factory is located in Changshu, on the southern bank of the Yangtze River 90 kilometers northwest of Shanghai and should start production by the end of this year.


“The Chinese hoist market is massive with thousands of lifting units being sold every year to meet the vertical access needs of China’s booming construction and other industries,” says Petter Arvidson, president and ceo of the Alimak Hek group. “Many of those units being sold by other manufacturers closely resemble our mast climbing vertical access technology, which Alimak introduced in the early 1950s. The inauguration of our new factory in Changshu not only gives us a solid and highly competitive local presence, but also means the ‘original is back in town’.
