German Niche Industry Leader LIFTKET Opens Its First Chinese Factory in TEDA

On April 27, LIFTKET Group, a global leader in the manufacturing of electric chain hoists, opened its first production subsidiary, Liftket Technology (Tianjin) Co., Ltd., in TEDA. This marks a key step in LIFTKET Group’s strategy to deepen its localization in China and represents another milestone in Sino-German high-end equipment manufacturing cooperation in TEDA.

Liftket Tianjin will fully introduce Europe’s advanced manufacturing standards, intelligent automation control technologies, and lean management concepts. Leveraging TEDA’s robust industrial ecosystem, the company will focus on three sectors: industry, wind power, and stage entertainment. It will prioritize the launch of stage hoist products tailored to local demands and featuring high technical thresholds, while strongly promoting the localized procurement of its supply chain. At the same time, LIFTKET Group will empower its Chinese team with more efficient local decision-making and service mechanisms to build an operational system defined by “customer proximity, rapid response, and long-term symbiosis.”

Benjamin Göldner, CEO of LIFTKET Group, stated that China is the world’s most dynamic market, and the high-quality business environment and comprehensive industrial facilities in TEDA make it an ideal choice for the Group to deepen its presence in China. Following the opening of Liftket Tianjin, the company will fully leverage its location and technological advantages to facilitate the deep integration of advanced European technology with local needs, accelerate product iteration, and drive the coordinated development of the industrial chain in the Asia-Pacific region and beyond.

As an industry benchmark with a century of technical expertise, LIFTKET Group has over 850,000 daily active devices used worldwide and holds numerous international system certifications. Its business covers three major product series: industrial hoists, stage hoists, and wind power hoists. In the stage entertainment sector, LIFTKET Group’s fixed suspension systems and dynamic man-loading systems, which meet extremely high safety standards, represent the highest validation standards of engineering capability in the industry.
