The machinery and plant manufacturer was able to secure a more than EUR 60 million order from the Chinese car manufacturer Chery. Dürr will be building a new environmental-friendly paint shop at Chery's Dalian location. The environmental sustainability of the paint shop equipment was an important criterion in the decision-making and order placement process, all the more so considering that the plant is going to be built in a holiday region. Chery is one of the largest Chinese car producers. Chery's order is already the fifth major order from China since the beginning of the year. In the first eight months of the year, the car manufacturers Shanghai General Motors and Shanghai Volkswagen were amongst those to order turnkey paint shops from Dürr. Dürr's customers in China not only include joint ventures with Western OEMs, but also numerous Chinese car manufacturers such as Chery, Changan, FAW Car Company and Yutong. Ralf Dieter, CEO of Dürr AG, is expecting further order placements from China during the coming months: 'Several new paint shops are currently being planned by car manufacturers in China. We stand a good chance of being successful and winning more orders. Due to our longstanding, powerful presence in China, we are in a position to handle large projects promptly and efficiently. This is a very important criterion for our customers, since the rapid development of new production capacities is a key success factor within the fast growing Chinese Market'. Dürr is represented in China with over 700 employees. In the first six months of 2010, the Chinese market accounted for more than a third of incoming orders.
