Customers, partners, local authorities and Stäubli employees were given the opportunity to visit the new campus in a guided tour. One of the highlights was the modern design of the building, explicitly conceived to foster innovation and collaboration in a dynamic environment. As part of the objective to achieve carbon neutrality in the park’s operations in the long term, a rooftop installation of solar panels currently meets 15% of the yearly electricity consumption of Yinhai Industrial Park. Further supporting this goal, the use of advanced insulation materials and technologies in the building itself reduces reliance on air conditioning and heating systems and lowers energy consumption.

Strategic importance of an Asian hub

With its entrepreneurial spirit and the new campus, Stäubli is ready to support the Chinese textiles, photovoltaics, automotive, metals and plastics industries, among others, as a technological pioneer and trusted partner. “The additional industrial park will further strengthen Stäubli Hangzhou’s position as the Asian hub for the Group’s local market research, development, and manufacturing”, Zhenhui Zhang, Managing Director of Stäubli China, said during his speech.

The history of Stäubli Hangzhou dates back to 1997, with the plant being the Group’s first production site outside of Europe. Since then, the Hangzhou site continuously expanded, and the Stäubli Group has grown to 12 offices in mainland China with more than 800 employees serving all four Divisions: Electrical Connectors, Fluid Connectors, Robotics and Textile.
