On 30.11.2011 the solemn opening of the new Miele plant in Dongguan/China was celebrated. The family owned company decided to build a new plant to meet the increasing demand of household appliances in the Asian market. After the project duration of 18 months the opening event was for i+o consultants, too, a good opportunity to celebrate the plant’s start-up.
