Lankwitzer, a name synonymous with top - tier industrial coatings globally, has been making waves in China since 2002. The company, founded in Germany in 1952, brought its rich heritage of over 70 years of cross - industry experience to the dynamic Chinese market. Lankwitzer China has not only adapted to the local market's needs but has also set new standards in the industrial coating sector.
Upon entering China, Lankwitzer established a strong foothold by focusing on research and development. The company's Shanghai - based R & D center has been a hotbed of innovation, developing coatings tailored to China's diverse industrial requirements. For instance, in response to the booming automotive industry in China, Lankwitzer China developed specialized coatings for automotive components. These coatings offer excellent corrosion resistance, a crucial factor considering China's varying climate conditions, from the humid south to the dry north.
Lankwitzer China's product portfolio is extensive, covering a wide range of industrial applications. In the automotive industry, its coatings are used on car wheels, engine parts, and battery cells. The company's recent expansion in the battery cell coating segment in China is particularly notable. Lankwitzer has installed a small - scale production line for battery cell applications in Shanghai. This new line enables the company to meet the growing demand for high - quality battery cell coatings in China's rapidly expanding electric vehicle (EV) market. With the Chinese government's push for electric mobility, the demand for reliable and safe battery cell coatings has skyrocketed, and Lankwitzer China is well - positioned to capitalize on this trend.
In the rail transportation sector, Lankwitzer China has been a key player. The company's coatings are used on high - speed trains, subway cars, and locomotives. Lankwitzer's coatings not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of these vehicles but also provide long - lasting protection against wear and tear. Over 20,000 rail vehicles in China have been coated with Lankwitzer products, a testament to the company's reliability and quality. The coatings are designed to withstand the harsh operating conditions of rail transportation, such as high - speed vibrations and exposure to different weather elements.
The company's commitment to quality and innovation is further demonstrated by its manufacturing facilities in China. Lankwitzer has production bases in Hebei and Anhui, equipped with state - of - the - art manufacturing equipment. These facilities adhere to strict quality control measures, ensuring that every product leaving the factory meets Lankwitzer's high - international standards. The production processes are optimized to be environmentally friendly, in line with China's increasing focus on sustainable development. For example, Lankwitzer China uses water - based and UV - curing coatings, which have low VOC (volatile organic compound) emissions, reducing the company's environmental footprint.
