2020 is the year of renewal for DD Wuxi China. After management adjustments at the beginning year, new strategic directions have been taken to improve safety, quality and competitiveness.
As part of this new strategy, production of glass-lined vessels for customers outside of China has become a new target to demonstrate the competitiveness of DD Wuxi.
This new success story began end of April after got a new inquiry from a famous synthetics producer in Southeast Asia.
DD Wuxi teams were excited to take a new challenge even if after first analysis, this project included some operations difficulties.
This 62 cubic meters glass-lined stripper is indeed the largest equipment ever produced in DD Wuxi with a weight of more than 32 tons and a size exceeding our assembly pits.
Teams have proven their ability to create ingenious solutions in order to overpass any difficulties.
Thanks to a robust design realized in closed and strong collaboration with DD Zinswiller teams, production started smoothly by the end of June.
But our customer suddenly requested a speed-up planning as they encountered high pressure in their construction plan with EPC contractor.
It was the start of a new huge challenge for DD Wuxi with a request to accelerate the delivery planning by more than one month.
This project became definitely a top priority with specific task-force, daily tracking and overtime settings.
Boiler shop activities were finalized in only one month which was also a record for DD Wuxi plant.
Glass-lining, assembly and inspection activities have been also realized in extremely short timing thanks to dedication of all our employees.
I am as Plant Director extremely proud of my teams achievement which is the reflect of a great team-spirit.
I am confident in the future of DD Wuxi to continue to achieve such impressive results.
