Germany-based washing technology producer Meiko opened the doors to its factory in Zhongshan, South China's Guangdong province on Feb 21, a key event to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the company's foothold in China.

The ceremony at the facility, one of Meiko's three international production sites outside of Germany and the United States, offered nearly 100 customers from Southeast Asian, India, Middle East and Australia, a first-hand experience of the production facility and the products "Made by Meiko".

The label stands for high-class engineering, quality and design, and guarantees the cleanest solutions and the most innovative technology for warewashing, cleaning and disinfection.

For 20 years now, Meiko has been manufacturing machines for the entire Meiko warewashing machine product range in China.

All of the production locations share the same strict quality standards, which are at the core of the "Made by Meiko" promise.

On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of Meiko in China, the company is introducing the latest addition to its successful UPster machine range - the rack type machine UPster K.

The UPster K will be produced and rolled out to customers in Asia directly from Meiko China as of May 2017.

The modular format of the UPster K rack type machine has two key advantages: It can easily be tailored to existing kitchen layouts and allows for a fast manufacturing process, a quick delivery to customers and a rapid installation.

In addition to being one of three major manufacturing facilities on the planet, Meiko China in Zhongshan also serves as the company's logistics hub for the entire Asia region. But its importance does not end here: Zhongshan is also the company's regional competence center and training facility, securing the high quality of services offered for all Meiko products in Asia.

The service center at Meiko China allows the company to respond quickly and flexibly to the needs of their regional customers.

In the future, the company plans to concentrate their efforts on bringing its services even more closely in line with the individual requirements of regional customers.

Heiko Vogel, managing director of Meiko China, said, "While Meiko as a global player is setting standards in terms of quality, service and innovation around the world, the requirements, regulations and individual needs concerning hygiene and services are often different, varying for each location and business.

"Meiko will further improve their services to reflect this, in order to be able to offer the best support for each individual customer."
