HIMA Group expands footprint in China with new Shanghai office

HIMA Group has strengthened its presence in China with the official inauguration of its new Shanghai office, marking a significant milestone in
the company’s long-term regional expansion strategy.

The new facility was inaugurated on 5 December during a ceremony followed by a Safety Symposium attended by customers, industry
partners, and government representatives. The move reflects the company’s commitment to supporting China’s fast-growing industrial sectors
with advanced functional safety and automation solutions.

Steffen Philipp, Managing Partner of HIMA Group, said the company values long-term partnerships in China, highlighting more than 23 years
of successful operations and close collaboration with local customers and partners. Today, the company employs around 80 specialists
across China, working in coordination with global teams.

The Shanghai office has been designed as a modern hub for innovation, technical collaboration, and customer engagement. It includes a new
Customer Solutions Center to support expanded training and testing capabilities, as well as multifunctional meeting areas aimed at enhancing
professional interaction with clients. The upgraded workspace is also intended to improve employee comfort and productivity.
Dr. Michael Löbig, Chief Financial Officer of HIMA Group, said the new office underlines the strategic importance of the Chinese market. Yao
Zhou, General Manager for China, added that the facility is intended to serve as a base for delivering excellence from China to global
markets.

During the Safety Symposium, HIMA’s senior leadership emphasized the growing role of digitalization and functional safety in strengthening
industrial operations. Jörg de la Motte, Chief Executive Officer of HIMA Group, said China remains one of the company’s most important
regions as it continues to support safer plant operations and value creation through digital transformation.

The symposium welcomed more than 100 participants and featured industry discussions under the theme “Smart Solutions for the Digitalized
Process Industry.” External speakers from China Huanqiu, the Sino-German Intelligent Manufacturing Standardization Council, and BASF SIS
shared insights on smart manufacturing and safety technologies. The event also showcased innovations in cybersecurity, engineering
optimization, Advanced Physical Layer (APL), and digital lifecycle management.
