In Europe we are one of the leading suppliers of insulation materials. Our plan is also to globally expand our business. Recently, we have had a launch in China, Zhangjiagang, where we have a production plant with four lamination and six slitting lines. The main application for production there is insulation materials for photovoltaics, but with the technology and available capacity we now started to supply the transformers and motor market, and we plan to develop this business in China.

 

The part of business relating to transformers and motors insulation makes up 20 % of our operations, and our plan is to double that percentage.

 

On the transformers market, we cooperate with major customers such as Hitachi ABB, Siemens Energy, SEA, and many others. We are supplying mainly European facilities and, as already said, we would also like to expand this business in Asia, offering local distribution and service with multinational groups with production sites in China and for Chinese manufacturers looking for a high-quality product.

The part of business relating to transformers and motors insulation makes up 20 % of our operations, and our plan is to double that percentage. There is a strong competition on the market, but we are always prepared to work hard, and in all markets. The market is growing, that is a fact, and I believe there is a place there for high quality suppliers such as we are.
