JAPANESE consumer goods producer Kao Group says it has completed the construction of a 490-million-yuan (US$77.8 million) manufacturing base in Anhui Province as it sees increasing consumer demand.
The new facility, Kao's second in China, will mainly make baby diapers and other paper products. It is located in Hefei, the provincial capital, with an area of 125,000 square meters.
Kao Group already has a plant in Shanghai, which makes washing powder and other consumer goods.
Products made at the Anhui plant will reach the market later this year, the company said today.
Other foreign consumer goods giants are also increasing their output capacity to cash in on the growing demand in the Chinese market.
Unilever launched a 180-million-yuan toothpaste plant in Hefei in April and will add another plant or two in south China in the next few years.
Kao has been operating in China for 19 years but lags behind its rivals, Unilever and Procter & Gamble Co.
