Arguably, one of the biggest news to surround Chinaplas happened before the show began when Engel had announced that it had founded a 100%-owned subsidiary in China. Wintec, which was developed specifically for the commodity market, will start producing injection molding machines this summer. The new production plant for injection molding machines is located in Changzhou, in the industrial province of Jiangsu. The target market is China, but Engel also expects to serve injection molding customers in Southeast Asia, Korea, Taiwan and India.

Both Engel and Wintec had a presence at Chinaplas, but were in separate booths.
