Forty years after its first sale there, underwater and strand pelletizing systems manufacturer Automatik Plastics Machinery increased its presence in China with the recent opening of a new facility in Shanghai, and also opened a new subsidiary in Malaysia.   Automatik (then Rieter-Automatik; Grossostheim, Germany) delivered its first strand pelletizer to China in 1969, which the company says is still operating. A festive opening ceremony for its new corporate facility in Shanghai was held September 18, joined by some 120 invited guests. In a speech to welcome the guests to the official opening of Automatik Plastics Machinery (Shanghai) Co. Ltd., Roger Stehr, global managing director, underscored the importance of the Asian market for the company, whose local presence in China dates to 1994. The new, larger corporate facility in Shanghai allows the company to centralize its sales and service activities under a single roof, which it says will help it reap synergies and speed customer service.
