Moreover, the localized production of other lift products will also be started in the new production areas.
Commitment II: Exceed customers’ expectations. The newly-built Phase II factory has improved logistics and maximized productivity while complying with all safety and quality requirements. IT infrastructure of the whole factory has been comprehensively upgraded, which provides the guarantee for the good performance and steady production output and lays the foundation for future further capacity expansions.

In addition, Wittur will make constant efforts to continuously improve the working conditions of its factory so as to provide its staff with a better working environment.
 
Commitment VI: Focus on energy saving and environmental friendly technologies to offer “green” products built in a “green” production plant. As a result, Wittur has been granted the “A” classification for energy efficiency according to the norm VDI 4707 for many of its products.
