As the rapid growth of long fibre thermoplastic composites continues in China, Dieffenbacher, headquartered in Eppingen, Germany, has secured a deal to install a new plant in the country with the capacity to produce around a million components annually.

The project partner is a newly established joint venture between US company Continental Structural Plastics (CSP) and Victall, a Chinese company operating primarily in the field of railway engineering. The new plant, however, will produce components for China's automotive industry.
