The Zhangjiagang facility integrates into the company’s global manufacturing network, specifically targeting increased output for steel, aluminum, and beverage can industries. Albert Ma, the company’s regional commercial lead for Asia-Pacific, noted that on-site production capabilities are essential for maintaining the high-quality standards expected by local partners.

Simultaneously, the firm has scaled up its Shanghai laboratory. This site now hosts dedicated testing for grease products and the QH FLUID INTELLIGENCE platform, which monitors and optimizes industrial process performance. CEO Joseph Berquist characterized these investments as critical to the company’s long-term strategy, emphasizing that the ability to manufacture a broader portion of the product portfolio locally will accelerate innovation and responsiveness to regional demand.
