SPX on the Job in Asia
Evolving economies in many Asian countries continue to create opportunities that hardly existed a decade ago. SPX is well positioned to help our customers take advantage of them.
Strong Brands, Strong Local Presence
Marley®, PowerTeam®, Waukesha® Cherry-Burrell®, Balcke-Dürr® and Lightnin®. We are well respected for our work in infrastructure projects and for solutions in the growing vehicle market, particularly in China and India.
While we have marketing and manufacturing offices in many Asian countries, the center of our operations is in China where we now run 12 plants, 18 project sites and sales and sourcing operations with approximately 3,000 employees.
Our SPX Asia Pacific Center in Shanghai features our global research and development (R&D) facility where customers can take advantage of our expertise across numerous industries and applications, as well as our local understanding of business and cultural issues.
Solutions to Meet a Broad Range of Needs
The diversity of solutions provided by SPX to companies throughout Southeast Asia attests to the depth and breadth of our products and technologies.
In China, SPX’s Lightnin mixers are used in silicon wafer manufacturing. These silicon wafers are used in solar cell powered batteries used in water heating equipment for family use. Another SPX company, Kayex®, is supplying crystal-growing furnaces to a Korean solar panel manufacturer for use in creating the silicon wafers that serve as the base material in the panels.
SPX’s APV®, a leader in components and technologies for the food, beverage and dairy industries, has supplied automation systems to juice manufacturers in Thailand, the Philippines and Indonesia; components to glucose/maltose syrup plants in Malaysia and its butter blending system to dairy manufacturers in Korea and other Southeast Asian nations.
