Urban transport is a high priority on the Chinese market. China’s R.P. plans to multiply its number of subway lines fourfold by 2015.
Our Power Interconnection business – high power switches, LV contactors, 3rd rail CCDs, ERCUs, customized enclosures – is extremely active on the transport market.
And serving our global customers where they need it is a key objective. That explains why Ferraz Shawmut is setting up operations in China, at a location in Kunshan where several other Carbone Lorraine divisions are already working. The Ferraz Shawmut Kunshan plant brings together local purchasers, assembly operators, and the Ferraz Shawmut quality system, the cornerstone of our global industrial organization.

Customers for whom Ferraz Shawmut is a partner in growth will be comforted in their trust by this new set-up, since it reduces their risk by providing sales and operations teams at a dedicated location, meeting demands for local content and offering opportunities for local sourcing – a guarantee of savings.
