Strengthening local availability in China

For film producers everywhere, stable production depends on one essential factor: access to the right spare parts at the right moment. To support this need, Brückner Servtec is steadily expanding regional spare‑parts availability – with a recent milestone in China: the enhanced bonded warehouse in Shanghai.

Spare parts warehouse in Shanghai

With the expansion of the warehouse in Shanghai, customers throughout China now have access to a broadened range of spare parts, minimizing downtimes, and maximizing operating times of film productions lines.

Key advantages:

  • Shorter delivery times: Improved international logistics combined with localized supply and shipment, reduces transport routes and accelerates availability.
  • Reliable stock levels: Thousands of spare parts for the Chinese market are constantly in stock, with inventory expanding further.
  • Better maintenance planning and forecastability: More predictable delivery schedules support stable production processes.
  • Stronger service support: Regional teams ensure faster responses and clearer communication for customers’ daily operational needs.

When parts are available locally, decision‑making becomes faster – and so do repairs. That’s exactly what our customers expect in a high‑speed production environment such as in China.

Strengthening regional supply step by step

Additional shipments of original parts are already on their way to the Shanghai warehouse. With each delivery, the available product range grows – helping customers respond more flexibly to maintenance needs and ensuring smoother production schedules. Our focus is to make spare‑parts access as straightforward and reliable as possible, supporting long‑term performance of film stretching lines in every region we serve.

Part of a broader service vision

While Shanghai represents a major regional upgrade, the approach behind it is universal: bringing essential services closer to customers. Across markets, Brückner Servtec continues to evaluate where localized stock, shorter logistics routes, or region‑specific services add the most value.

This includes already established services such as local clip & chain refurbishments at six worldwide hubs – as well as similar service concepts in other regions.

Our goal is simple: we want to offer our customers reliable support tailored to local requirements wherever they operate, reflecting our core promise: Think global. Act local.
