Shanghai: A prime example of customer benefits

BYK expands its presence in China: The integrated site in the Shanghai Chemical Industry Park is the headquarters of BYK China and combines research and development, technical customer service, logistics, and administrative functions on approximately 54,000 square meters. This expansion in capacity gives BYK the space to offer customized product solutions for the Chinese market.

Today, around 120 people work here in sales and marketing, research and development, logistics, warehousing, technical services, finance, customer service and administration. The Shanghai site is the distribution center for the whole of China. The 5000 square meter main warehouse is also located here, from where all imported and locally manufactured products are delivered to customers.

Creating benefits for our customers – that is the core of BYK's strategy. Optimal technical laboratory support, constant product innovations, and fast, reliable supply chains play a decisive role. Chinese customers are offered direct on-site service as well as differentiated products that give further impetus to BYK's commitment to the region. Since 2022, another production building has been in operation. Meanwhile, the site is equipped with a 2000 square meter solar plant. Even the parking lots now supply solar power – and are shaded at the same time.
