October 20——With the completion of the third expansion phase, ebm-papst, the world's leading manufacturer of fans and motors, has officially opened its plant in Xi'an, China.

ebm-papst began operations in Xi'an in 2019 and has been continuously developing the site ever since. The plant covers an area of approximately 60,000 m² and employs around 1,000 people. The latest expansion, which cost around 30 million euros, will create around 500 jobs. The completion of the plant marks another milestone in the group's “Local for Local” strategy.

"With our 'Local for Local' glocalization strategy, which has been in place since 2017, we are locally and independently positioned in the regions of Europe, Asia-Pacific and MEA, as well as the Americas. The Chinese market has always been of great importance to ebm-papst, and we already have a localization rate of around 90 percent in China. 'Local for Local' has three clear advantages for us: customer proximity, independence in the supply chain, and the reduction of emissions," says Dr. Klaus Geissdoerfer, CEO of the ebm-papst Group.

A particular focus is on the continuous expansion of local development activities. "The interaction between the local R&D departments at our two Chinese locations – Shanghai and Xi'an – enables us to serve our customers in China in the best and most flexible way possible," emphasizes Thomas Nuernberger, CSO ebm-papst Group and President & CEO Air Technology APAC & MEA. "Xi'an in particular strengthens our innovative power. With a comprehensive R&D laboratory focused on product reliability, durability, and adaptability in a wide range of application scenarios, we are specifically driving forward the development of energy-efficient EC fans, digital ventilation solutions, and retrofit concepts there. Close cooperation with local universities also creates a strong basis for pioneering technologies and the promotion of young talent."

It is reported that the Xi'an Economic and Technological Development Zone will further sharpen its focus on the high-end fan and motor equipment sector, with targeted efforts to attract upstream and downstream enterprises. This approach aims to provide a worry-free environment for ebm-papst’s growth, foster collaboration opportunities, and encourage more outstanding companies like ebm-papst to “take root in the Zone and expand their reach globally.” (Zhaojing)

隨著第三期擴建完成，10月20日，全球領先的風機與電機制造商依必安派特宣布，其位于中國西安的工廠正式投產。

依必安派特自2019年起在西安開展運營，并持續推進工廠建設。目前，工廠占地約6萬平方米，現有員工約1,000人。最新一期擴建投資約3,000萬歐元，將新增約500個就業崗位。此次正式投產，標志著該集團“立足本土，服務本土”戰略的又一重要里程碑。

依必安派特集團首席執行官 Klaus Geissdoerfer 博士表示：“自2017年起，我們實施‘立足本土，服務本土’戰略，在歐洲、美洲、亞太及中東和非洲地區實現本地化與獨立運營。中國市場對依必安派特始終具有重要意義，我們在中國的本地化率已達到約90%。‘立足本土，服務本土’為我們帶來三大優勢：貼近客戶、供應鏈獨立、降低碳排放。”

依必安派特集團首席銷售官兼空氣技術亞太、中東及非洲地區總裁兼首席執行官 Thomas Nuernberger 強調：“上海與西安兩地研發部門的緊密協作，使我們能夠以更靈活、高效的方式滿足中國客戶的需求。西安工廠尤其增強了公司的創新能力，配備了全面的研發實驗室，專注于產品的可靠性、耐用性及多場景適應性。在這里，我們推動節能EC風機、數字化通風解決方案的研發，以及改造概念的推進和落地。同時，與本地高校的合作也為前沿技術探索和青年人才培養奠定了堅實基礎。”

據了解，西安市經開區將進一步聚焦高端風機電機裝備領域，精準招引上下游企業，讓依必安派特在經開區發展無顧慮、合作有伙伴，讓更多像依必安派特一樣的優秀企業“扎根經開、輻射全球”。（記者：趙婧）
