HEFEI, China, Sept. 19, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- The 2024 World Manufacturing Conference will take place from September 20 to 23, 2024, in Hefei, Anhui Province.

This facility provides Kurz with manufacturing and logistical advantages close to the Chinese market, offering robust local support for its automotive interior and packaging businesses.
