WIKA Opens Suzhou Plant II to Boost Global R&D and Production Capacity
As global supply chains undergo profound restructuring and China accelerates its transition toward high-end manufacturing, precision measurement instrumentation—the "sensory nervous system" of modern industry—is becoming a critical differentiator. The depth of localization and speed of response increasingly determine industrial competitiveness.
On June 8, 2026, WIKA China officially inaugurated Suzhou Plant II. The facility represents the company’s third production base in China and its second manufacturing site in Suzhou.
WIKA Suzhou Plant II with a total area of over 20,000 square meters. For the measurement technology manufacturer, the opening represents a significant step towards achieving its growth targets in China and in Asia. The branch now has significantly greater production capacity. WIKA has thus adapted to market requirements and laid the groundwork for reliably meeting rising local and global demand.
Expanded Production & Integrated R&D Capabilities
WIKA Suzhou Plant II manufactures a wide range of key products – including UHP pressure gauges, flow devices and instruments for SF6 gas monitoring. In addition to production, the new plant has also expanded WIKA’s research and development capacity.
According to Mr. Alexander Wiegand, CEO of the WIKA Group, “For WIKA, localisation means more than just on-site production, it means establishing deep roots in the country. In 1997, we were among the first international companies to set up operations in Suzhou. Today, the site forms the heart of our extensive sales, production and research network in China. WIKA products can be found in all 34 provinces – from refineries and petrochemical plants in the East, through high-voltage switchgear in the North west, to pharmaceutical plants in the North and nuclear power stations in the South. WIKA China serves a wide range of customers offering the product customisation capability to serve the market.”
Empowering High-Growth Industrial Sectors Across Asia
Asia remains one of WIKA's most important growth markets. The company continues to invest in local research and development while expanding its technical expertise in the region. Through a combination of innovative technologies, high-quality products and cost-competitive solutions, WIKA has earned the trust of customers across multiple industries.
This positions the company for continued growth in sectors such as power engineering, pharmaceuticals, nuclear energy, refining, petrochemicals and semiconductors, where reliability, safety and precision measurement are increasingly critical.
Positioned for Sustainable Long-Term Growth
With Suzhou Plant II now in operation, WIKA has further expanded its production and measurement capabilities for key industries. The new plant strengthens WIKA’s global manufacturing network and reinforces its commitment to delivering quality, reliability and innovation to customers worldwide.
