About WashTec
WashTec Car Cleaning Equipment (Shanghai) Co. Ltd. WashTec, as a global represented car wash manufacturer, has realized soon that Asia, and especially China, are the top car wash markets in the future. So it was an obvious decision to build up a wholly owned subsidiary for Production, Sales and Service as well as a Sales-Network in the Asian region. Shanghai was the location of choice because of the central location and one of the places to be for business in China.
WashTec started in 2008 with sourcing of parts for the European market. Very soon WashTec decided to build up a production location to react quickly to the demands of the Asian markets. Beyond the assembly of components for machines, produced in Europe, in 2009 we introduced a customized type of roll-over machine for the Asian markets – the SoftWash!
The SoftWash is perfectly designed to the demands in Asia in case of reliability, quality, functions, results and transportability. National and International Customers like PetroChina, Total Sinochem Oil/Fuel, BMW, Audi, Mercedes Benz, Bosch, NYK and several other individual companies rely on our expertise and quality.
Quality is our aim: WashTec China settled a production according to German standards and quality requirements in Tinglin, Jinshan district Shanghai. I addition WashTec decided for a sales representation office in Shanghai, Xuhui district to be close to our customers. The Chinese production site is, as all WashTec plants, ISO certified by the German ISO organization DEKRA.
WashTec provides the highest German quality standards in all its subsidiaries globally.
Our goal is to provide always the highest possible standards and therefore we make no compromises in quality and reliability to be a partner our coustomers can and trust. We have a strong commitment to China and Asia with our growing organization.
The product is only one part of the business: WashTec is the Marketleader worldwide with the highest experience in Operation and Marketing of Car Wash. To share that experience with our customers is one more point that makes the difference. WashTec supports from the first idea in all steps of implementation.
