The expanded building, located in the Huaqiao Economic Development Zone of Kunshan City will offer a total floor space of approximately 21,000 m2, with construction scheduled for completion in August 2024. Aside from enhancing NSK’s presence in China, the investment will see the addition of more employees and broader research capabilities in support of local technology development.
