Shanghai Metro has been in operation since 1993, with the total number of vehicles in operation among the highest in China. With the 6,000th train delivered as a new starting point, Lankwitzer will contribute to the development of a world-class city cluster in the Yangtze River Delta with quality products and services.
Let's witness the 27th year of Shanghai Metro together.
Since the beginning of the Shanghai Pearl Line Phase II project in 2004, Lankwitzer has developed a deep connection with Shanghai Metro. More than a thousand train bodies, vehicle interiors, bogies, and other components of Shanghai Pearl Line 2, Shanghai Metro Line 1, 7, 9, 12, 13, 17, and 18 have been applied with Lankwitzer industrial paint products. (The first fully automated metro train will roll off the production line to serve Shanghai Metro Line 18)

Moreover, Lankwitzer has also developed a rapid repair paint product system for the actual situation of subway vehicle maintenance, using the international leading UV light rapid curing principle to provide rapid repair solutions for vehicles, which has been successfully applied to Shanghai Metro Line 7, 9 and other sections. The paint solution has greatly reduced maintenance time and improved overall efficiency. (Provide solutions for rapid refurbishment/repair of rail vehicles and components)
Each “thousandth vehicle” indicates an important milestone in the development of Shanghai Metro, and each cooperation is a highlight of Lankwitzer's industrial paint. Lankwitzer will continue to provide quality services to China’s railway business, add glory to the cause of China’s railway, and contribute to China’s metro industry.
