Huisman opens new facility in China

Huisman the Dutch based heavy crane manufacturer has opened a new production hall in China. The new building is the company’s largest production hall, measuring 205 metres in length by 54 metres wide and 62 metres high.

The extra height of the new building, combined with 2,000 tonnes of internal hoisting capacity allows the new facility to assemble products vertically, considerably increasing its capacity in both the size and the number of products.

Huisman, which also manufacturers in the Netherlands and the Czech Republic opened its first facility in China in 2007 in Fujian (Xiamen area). Huisman China has delivered over 20 cranes since then, including three 800 tonne heavy lift mast cranes and several 300 tonne pedestal mounted offshore cranes.

The company is currently building the 5,000 tonne offshore mast crane for Acergy’s Borealis. Huisman China achieved ISO9001:2008 certification in June 2009.
