Shimadzu Constructs A New Hydraulic Equipment Plant In Tianjin

Tianjin Shimadzu Hydraulic Company Limited (TSH), a Chinese subsidiary of Shimadzu Manufacturing Institute, started construction of a new plant for forklift special hydraulic gear pump and control valve in Xiqing Economic and Technological Development Zone of Tianjin City in November. Prior to that, the company had invested an additional $20 million in TSH for the production of hydraulic equipment on September 26, 2018. The new plant is scheduled to be completed in September 2020. TSH expects the annual output of gear pumps to reach 300,000 units in 2023, double that of 2018.

With the development of e-commerce, China's logistics volume is increasing. With the development of forklift truck market, which is indispensable for logistics business, the demand for gear pumps for transporting hydraulic oil and control valves for switching hydraulic oil runners is also increasing. The new plant will use advanced technology to pursue excellent production efficiency, quality and performance to meet the growing market demand. Through the use of unmanned trucks and robots and other ways to promote provincial humanization and automation, the introduction of monitoring process progress and equipment operation visualization system, strive to achieve maximum operation rate and production capacity. Meanwhile, real-time sharing of production data with SHIMADZU PRECISION TECHNOLOGY, Ltd., which is responsible for the production of hydraulic equipment in Japan, will help the group to improve its overall production efficiency.

In China's forklift truck market, due to the enhanced emission restrictions, will speed up the pace of the transformation to electronization. The company's low power consumption and low noise features will help expand sales.
