Voith seals syndicated loan to support growth

GERMAN industrial conglomerate Voith has sealed a 2.25 billion yuan (US$357 million) five-year syndicated loan facility to help it grow in China.

This is the first financing deal in yuan for the family-owned company. The lenders include Citibank (China), Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, Commerzbank AG, HSBC Holdings, Standard Chartered Bank, and Australia & New Zealand Banking Group, Voith said in a release.

The company, which makes hydro turbines and paper-making machines, said it plans to invest around 400 million euros (US$527 million) in China over the next few years and will be largely financed by the new line of credit.

Voith's plans to grow further a paper-making complex in Kunshan, near Shanghai, and raise the staff strength in China to 5,000 by 2016 from under 3,000 now.
