Traboch factory opening

As part of a small, corona-compliant ceremony, the talk-specializing group’s first business step outside of Asia took off. With the declared aim of gaining a foothold on the European market as a new partner for industrial customers with high-quality products from sustainable production. AIHAI invested € 16.8 million in their first grinding mill in Europe, which will soon be operational.

The construction of the new AIHAI talk mill by the general contractor STRABAG is a successful example of the good names that Austrian cutting-edge technology and engineering know-how have internationally. Because it was primarily this quality that led to the selection of the strategic location Traboch. After all, the raw material talc is brought from the country of origin China to Austria and only then processed into high-quality industrial raw materials.

After the joint inspection of the turnkey high-tech plant by Stefan Better and Michael Felber (STRABAG, general contractor) Thomas Steiner and Martin Rainer (Rainer & Steiner, planning and processing company), the contract was signed and the factory was officially handed over to Linda Li, Managing Director, accompanied by Florian Michelitsch, assistant to the project manager and Michael Jurkowitsch, plant manager (AIHAI).

“I am very proud of the Aihai team in Europe, which, under the leadership of Managing Director Linda Li, was able to complete the project consistently on time and on budget, despite all adverse circumstances. I would also like to thank all partners and suppliers for reliable and professional cooperation.”

Mona Qi, CEO Aihai Minerals
