Elevator firm opens plant in Zhongshan

Germany's thyssenkrupp Elevator, a diversified industrial group with a history of more than 200 years, on Friday opened its new plant and a test tower in Zhongshan, Guangdong province, a traditional manufacturing city in the Pearl River Delta region.

The company said it will continue its investment in China as the country's demand for high-quality elevators keeps increasing because of its rapid urbanization, said a company executive.

"China has become our largest market in Asia and the elevator business is our focus of future investment," said Jurgen Bohler, CEO of thyssenkrupp Elevator (China).
