Spectacular opening ceremony…

The new production site in Chongqing, China has been inaugurated with a grand opening ceremony that truly represented one of the Polykemi value words; World Class.

In the early summer, the opening ceremony of Polykemi Chongqing was held in the district of Jiangjin. The ceremony was attended by members and guests from different parties and committees of the Jiangjin District, managers and employees of Polykemi China as well as representatives of the Polykemi Headquarters in Ystad.

The opening ceremony consisted of several speeches, the celebratory ribbon cutting ceremony and both modern and traditional Chinese entertainment. The guests were taken on a guided tour of the new factory, and was then served a large buffet of both Swedish and Chinese dishes.

The representatives of the Polykemi Headquarters in Ystad were Gustav Hugoson and Herman Hugosson from the third generation of owners of the family business. They made a speech where they thanked the Chinese management team and all employees for their hard work and well executed project.
