New assembly line in China

Six metres wide, seven metres long and two metres high – these are the dimensions of the fully automated assembly line for SEL door contacts that Bernstein recently put into operation at its subsidiary in Taicang (China).

The subsidiary, founded in 2005, employs 84 people. In order to continue to meet the high demand for door contacts, Bernstein China expanded its production with the modern assembly line.

"At the beginning, about 600,000 SEL door contacts were produced annually in China. In the meantime, we're talking about 4 million," says Uwe Birnbaum, Managing Director of Bernstein in Taicang, China.

For each one, the new plant not only takes care of the assembly and laser marking, but also the subsequent packaging for safe shipment to the customer. The aim is to continuously improve and optimise the plant in order to be able to ramp up production even further if necessary.
