Kalmar expanded its Shanghai manufacturing plant to optimise operations and enhance production capacity. Completed in May 2026, the expansion improves operational efficiency by centralising post-assembly tasks and strengthens long-term flexibility with capacity for EV assembly and support for production growth. Kalmar?s Shanghai plant, opened in 2005, manufactures a wide range of material handling equipment, serving customers in the Asia-Pacific, Africa, South America, Oceania and Middle East regions.
The plant is located at the south-eastern tip of Shanghai close to one of the world's busiest ports, with easy access to both a network of navigable inland waterways and China?s vast railway network.
