Downhole Products has marked a new era in its ongoing global expansion with the opening of a $6 million factory in China.

The 300,000 sq. ft. purpose-built factory in Xian, Central China includes research and development facilities and has brought more than 200 jobs to the local area, with a further 100 people to be recruited later in the year as new product lines are added.

The new factory will provide additional capacity for Downhole Products, working alongside existing manufacturing locations in the UK and US which also continue to flourish.
