Voith in China
„The History of Voith in China can be traced back to 1909 when the first turbines were delivered for the Shi Long Ba hydro power station. Nearly 100 years later the Far East is the main focus of our ongoing geographical expansion, with China being the most important target martet. Today Voith operates in 12 locations throughout China. A relentless pioneering spirit, commitment to reliability and constant drive for innovation are the foundation of our success in China. We are proud of the people who work for Voith in China; their commitment and enthusiasm demonstrates our dedication to our motto: "Voith – Engineered reliability.”
