VEGA Opens New Plant in China
Production at the headquarters will continue and will be supplemented by the new plant
VEGA Grieshaber KG, a measurement technology manufacturer based in Schiltach, is continuing to expand its international presence. At the end of May, the company officially launched and celebrated the grand opening of a new facility in Jiaxing, China. Following the expansion of its electronics manufacturing in the U.S. in October 2025, the company is thereby strengthening its global production strategy and laying the foundation for further growth. Production at the headquarters in Schiltach will continue and will be supplemented by the new plant.
VEGA has been active in the Chinese market for 37 years now. The newly constructed building in Jiaxing comprises approximately 21,000 square meters of production, warehouse, and office space. The facility can accommodate about 180 employees.
The start of production was preceded by several years of intensive planning. Construction was completed on schedule: following the start of construction in December 2024, the project was completed as planned.
The plant is located in a dynamically growing economic and technology development zone in Jiaxing. The official opening was attended by the management from Schiltach, all VEGA China employees, numerous customers, and invited guests.
Production for regional markets
The production capacity is designed to meet the needs of the growing Chinese market. The facility adopts manufacturing concepts and technical standards from the headquarters in Schiltach. This enables the production of customer-specific products, optimized inventory management, and automated quality control.
With local production, VEGA will be able to respond more quickly to the demands of the local market, shorten delivery times, and reduce logistics-related CO₂ emissions. At the same time, local production enables even more flexible technical support for customers in the region.
Focus on Sustainability
Sustainability is one of VEGA’s corporate goals. During the planning, construction, and commissioning of the new plant in Jiaxing, the measurement technology manufacturer went beyond standard requirements and defined its own high standards for environmental protection and energy efficiency. This enabled the facility to achieve LEED Gold certification (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design).
Among other features, the building is equipped with a geothermal heat pump system, a rainwater recycling system, and a photovoltaic system on the roof. The building envelope, including the exterior walls, windows, and roofs, consists entirely of highly insulating materials, thereby helping to reduce energy consumption.
In the coming months, specialists from Schiltach will oversee the ramp-up of production to ensure a smooth transition to series production.
