BST International GmbH, a leading global manufacturer of web inspection and guiding systems for printing, converting and tire manufacturing, has expanded its global scope with the establishment of a new subsidiary company, BST International Shanghai Co., Ltd., located in Songjiang.

The new subsidiary will allow BST to operate and grow their business in this market in ways that were not possible previously. Presently about one eighth of the company’s total turn over comes from China. In Songjiang, BST has invested about € 250,000 in manufacturing, sales and service support. Here they will manufacture country specific components such as mechanical guiding devices for web guiding systems, and will conduct sales and support activities, especially for the expanding tire segment.
