Insights
Local R&D, assembly and spares hub in China should improve service speed and supply resilience for marine SiC membrane systems.
Jitri LiqTech is expanding operational capacity in Haimen with a marine-focused R&D test center, a localization assembly workshop, and a regional spare‑parts warehouse. The facilities target onboard wastewater purification systems using silicon carbide (SiC) membranes and aim to reduce dependence on European imports by sourcing components domestically. The company states it has more than 170 marine systems installed and holds market share greater than
The business mechanism is straightforward: lower lead times and localized assembly cut logistics and service delays, which should raise fleet uptime and shorten customer response cycles. Key dependencies include successful ramp of local sourcing, meeting quality parity with imported parts, and operational startup on schedule. The firm expects the R&D test center and assembly workshop to begin operations in
Watch for three concrete signals over the next 6–12 months: evidence of local component qualification and testing outcomes from the R&D center, actual commissioning and spare‑parts dispatch metrics that show reduced response times, and early customer service performance data tied to the new warehouse. These items will indicate whether the stated supply‑chain resilience and uptime improvements materialize.
BALLERUP, Denmark, Nov. 20, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Jitri LiqTech, the China‑based joint venture of LiqTech International, Inc. (NASDAQ: LIQT), has broken ground on a new marine-focused R&D test center and localization facility in Haimen, Nantong. The company also completed a regional spare parts warehouse to strengthen service and support capabilities for its growing marine customer base in China.
The new facility will develop and test Marine SiC Membrane Water Treatment Equipment designed for onboard wastewater purification and reuse. Jitri LiqTech will also establish a localization workshop for system assembly and domestic component sourcing. This approach reduces reliance on imported parts from Europe and increases supply chain resilience for the Chinese market.
These investments will help LiqTech address the rising demand for sustainable marine water-treatment solutions. LiqTech strongly believes that silicon carbide membrane technology will continue to gain adoption in new marine vessels with dual-fuel engines, driven by its durability, chemical resistance, and energy efficiency.
LiqTech has more than 170 marine water treatment systems installed for marine scrubber around world and holds a market share greater than
Since 2024, LiqTech has further developed its SiC membrane water treatment system to match the specific requirements in dual-fuel engine application, such as 24/7 operation reliability and sufficient sludge reduction.
The completed spare parts warehouse will serve as a regional logistics hub, enabling faster response times for maintenance and after‑sales support. By expanding its local infrastructure, Jitri LiqTech aims to improve operational uptime for customers and strengthen its long‑term position in China’s marine water treatment market.
“We are advancing our presence in China with investments that support both innovation and localized manufacturing,” said Fei Chen, CEO of LiqTech International. “The new R&D base and spare parts warehouse will enable us to respond faster to customers, accelerate development of marine filtration technologies, and enhance our ability to serve the market with reliable, high‑performance systems.”
Jitri LiqTech expects the R&D test center and assembly workshop to begin operations in Q1 2026.
