● The East China production base provides advanced solutions for automobile electrification transformation
DuPont held a grand opening ceremony for its integrated adhesive production base in Zhangjiagang, China. The base will produce adhesive products to respond to the development trends of lightweighting and rapidly growing vehicle electrification.
The integrated production base is able to meet the region’s supply needs, with advanced process capabilities and quality, technical support, and good transportation and logistics advantages to provide a world-class customer experience. The integrated production base is also equipped with a production execution system (MES) designed to optimize the production process and connect all aspects of the production process. MES will help make the production process transparent, traceable and more reliable.
