Groupe SEB announces the construction of its first-ever Professional Equipment Hub in Shaoxing, China. This ambitious project marks a significant step in strengthening its global leadership position in the professional coffee equipment sector and lays the foundation for our future expansion into new product categories.
China, being the largest market for sales in the full-auto professional coffee machine industry and the fastest-growing market, presents a fertile ground for innovations. Amidst intensifying competition, Groupe SEB's strategy focuses on cutting-edge innovation and collaboration with influential trendsetters to meet the unique needs of local markets.
With a 60 million euros investment, this new state-of-the-art hub epitomizes Groupe SEB's commitment to a long-term growth in Asia. It will enable significant expansion into new categories.
Selecting Shaoxing in Zhejiang Province, merely 65 kilometers from the provincial capital Hangzhou, leverages Groupe SEB existing presence to accelerate the ramp-up of its operations.
The Shaoxing Professional Equipment Hub will represent the first organic opening of a manufacturing site since 2016. A new entity, SEB PROFESSIONAL SHAOXING Co Ltd., will be established to manage the hub and develop new products for various professional and semi-professional segments.
Geislingen site in Germany remains the nerve center of our Professional Coffee activities.
We aim to become a reference player in the Professional Equipment market, relying on the development model deployed over the last twenty years in the Consumer sector, which has allowed us to strengthen our leadership in Professional Coffee.
