Moellmann plans strong strategic synergies in the cities of Shanghai, Wuxi, Ningbo and Changzhou for coordination and quality assurance in designated production liaison offices. Moellmann now has many contract manufacturing operations in China, all of which are managed by the production liaison offices established for this purpose. The process improvements also increase the quality of the projects. Technically highly demanding production processes can now be implemented. Customers now include leading companies that are operating worldwide. Moellmann has established itself as a competent partner for the planning and realization of industrial projects.

A 'new age' begins for Moellmann with various internal restructuring.

For the first time Moellmann starts cooperating with well-known Asian companies such as' Sugatsune' from Japan. At the end of the 1990s, Moellmann continues to be successful. The furniture industry is still loyal to dealers, but national and international competition is growing. A change is emerging.
