SCHMID Expands China Footprint

SCHMID signed a preliminary manufacturing project letter of intent and investment framework agreement with local authorities in Banfu Industrial Zone, Zhongshan, Guangdong Province.

The company plans to consolidate two leased facilities in China into a single company-owned campus.

SCHMID expects the site to nearly double effective manufacturing capacity. The gains would come from more space, better layout, streamlined logistics, and optimized workflows.

Investment and Timeline

The company expects to invest about €11 million in land, construction, and infrastructure, with incentives including long-term land-use rights.

SCHMID expects most financing from local Chinese banks on partially subsidized terms, backed mainly by project assets and land-use rights.

Construction is expected after final land transfer, permitting and a binding agreement. Operations are expected around mid-2027.

"The establishment of a modern, company-owned manufacturing campus represents an important milestone in SCHMID’s development in China,” said CEO Christian Schmid.
