Suzhou, located approximately 100 km west of Shanghai, is strategically important as China is Ifm's third-largest sales market. The plant, registered under the name ifm Technology Suzhou, will primarily serve the Chinese market and will offer space for up to 1,000 employees. Completion is scheduled for the fourth quarter of 2026.
According to a company spokesperson, the modern industrial structure of the metropolis of Suzhou, with its 10 million inhabitants, offers ideal conditions for this innovative and sustainable greenfield project. Ifm has invited employees from around the world to participate in the construction of the plant in order to gain international experience and further their cultural and linguistic skills. Interest is high, and many see this as an opportunity for personal and professional development.
