Kapro opens new China factory near Shanghai
Kapro is pleased to announce the official opening of its new manufacturing facility in Wujiang-Suzhou. The new ultra-modern site has been custom-built on land purchased by Kapro, and represents an important addition to our primary manufacturing facility in Israel. This is a strategic move that follows five successful years of manufacturing at rented premises in Ningbo.
The new factory is wholly owned and operated by Kapro Industries. Kapro resisted the temptation of working with Chinese subcontractors to lower its production costs, preferring to maintain complete control over all aspects of quality and management processes, which are certified compliant with the industry's most stringent quality codes.
