Turkey’s Aksa Jeneratör, a branch of Aksa Holding, opened the world’s largest generator factory in China yesterday.

The generator factory is the third plant Aksa has opened in China to date and will have an annual production capacity of 24,000 generators per year, according to daily Sabah. Aska Jeneratör’s General Manager Alper Peker said that since entering the Chinese market in 2007 there has been an increase in demand. Now, Aksa Jeneratör has increased its investments in China to $50 million.

Aksa Jeneratör is among the top five generator firms in the world, according to Peker, who said that this new factory was expected to export to 150 countries in the world. The generators produced by the new factory will have a range between 10 kilowatts to 2,500 kilowatts. With its other two factories in the China’s Changzhou and Wuxi regions, Aksa Jeneratör has become the largest exporter of generators in China. According to Peker, Aksa Jeneratör is the preferred generator label among the Chinese.

Peker explained that Aksa Jeneratör brought its raw materials and technology from Turkey and thereby contributed to the Turkish economy as well.
