Schalksmühle, 01.06.2023. Exactly 30 months ago today, on January 1, 2021, Lutronic GmbH, Lumberg’s sister company for the automation market, purchased its production plant in Dongguan, China. The company there operates as “Lutronic TCA Electronics Dongguan Co., Ltd.”, or in local language 陆创尼德思奥电子（东莞）有限公司.

Around 330 employees are currently employed at Lutronic TCA in Dongguan. The production, warehouse and business premises, which cover around 12,000 square meters, are conveniently located just two hours from Shenzhen and Hong Kong in a center of the Chinese electrical industry. In this metropolis of 8 million inhabitants, the Lutronic TCA plant is one of the 50 largest companies in Dongguan-Gaobu.

Yesterday, a 6-member delegation from Dongguan visited the Lumberg headquarters in Schalksmühle, which marked a first personal meeting. Led by Deng Binghua, Secretary of Gaobu Committee of CPC and Mayor You Xihong, Deputy Chief of Gaobu Township Government, the personal exchange on the cooperation in Dongguan was on the agenda. Above all, the success in Dongguan was acknowledged: The plant is growing, has been extensively renovated and modernized – and by September the new building for the canteen will be erected and ready for occupancy. Here, the delegation promoted further investments. The dignitaries from China were then impressed by the manufacturing know-how during a tour of the Lumberg Group’s Factory 1 in Everinghauserheide.

The focus of the Lutronic factory in China is initially on classic overmolded cables, but it is also increasingly producing individual cabling for signal, data and power applications. Here, Lutronic is occupying the growing niche that the market leaders are opening up by demanding ever higher minimum order quantities and, above all, by saying goodbye to individual small quantities.
