GERMANY: Electric motor and fan manufacturer Ziehl-Abegg is to open a new 14,000m2 €25m production facility in Vietnam. 

The official founding ceremony of Ziehl-Abegg Vietnam took place today in Ho Chi Minh City. 

Production at the new facility is scheduled to start in the first half of 2024, with full-scale production set to commence by the end of 2024.

The facility will comprise 12,900m2 of production area and 1,100m2 of offices.
