The RKW-Group is currently preparing to enter the Chinese market. Construction of the first Business Unit in the People’s Republic is under way and is set to be completed by the end of 2014. The Head Office of RKW China will be located on the premises of its affiliate Renolit in the southern Chinese business metropolis of Guangzhou.
