Cintas Corp. plans to open a plant in Guangzhou, the capital city of Guangdong Province, in China. With plants already established in Tianjin and Suzhou, in the northern and eastern regions, Cintas is set to take advantage of the world’s second-largest economy, which has had annual GDP growth rates of 9-10% for the past 30 years. The company is targeting industrial, food processing, protective apparel and controlled environments at this stage of its business development, says Tim Beagle, managing director of Cintas China, with plans to replicate its success in other locations.
