After full consideration of the market situation and requirements, ZERMA
entered China in July 1999 with the establishment of the wholly-owned
ZERMA Machinery & Recycling Technology (Shanghai) Co., Ltd. relocating
its manufacturing of plastics recycling equipment to Shanghai. |
 |

Only first class technology and equipment ensures first class products
Investment in technology and equipment has been the main commitment
over time at ZERMA Shanghai. At the original founding of ZERMA Shanghai
all core parts were imported from Germany whilst accessories were
produced in China, thus the operation was mostly assembly work. |
 |

|
|
However through the years of
development and growth, together with the current and rising demand for
plastics recycling equipment ZERMA Shanghai has increased its investment
with more and more new production equipment so as to better serve the
market in both quantity and quality. This continued investment also
plays an important role for the stability and reliability of product
quality. |
 |

|
|
All senior staff are fully
trained in their responsibilities and in addition two original german
engineers remain on site to deliver their expertise and skills. In this
way the quality of products produced in Shanghai matches or exceeds that
of the original German range. To ansure such efficient and quality
production requires the need of advanced processing equipment. For
example various CNC cutting tables and CNC work centers continuously
producing accurate high quality parts and high performance. |
 |

|
|
From simple assembly five years ago to today's in-house production and
assembly of over 80% of the parts, the company has adapted itself to the
ever changing diversified markets. Meanwhile the company has reduced
production costs and implemented a comprehensive quality control system
to increase its market share and competitiveness in both the domestic
and the world market.
