Anniversari / Celebrazioni
THIS YEAR MARPOSS CELEBRATES THE 25TH ANNIVERSARY OF ITS DIRECT PRESENCE IN CHINA
MARPOSS NOW IS PRESENT WITH ITS MANUFACTURING PLANT AND SEVERAL SALES AND AFTER-SALES SERVICE CENTERS
On November 4th, 1986, Marposs officially established its first trading company in Hong Kong; it served as a bridge to Mainland China and the markets of Taiwan and the Southeast Asian countries.
The development of Marposs’ presence in China, starting from the end of the 80’s, proceeded along with the economic growth of the country, especially in the automotive market.
At the beginning of 2009 a new 15,000 sq. m. facility was built in the technological park of Nanjing Jiangning Riverside Economic Development Zone. It is the largest Marposs foreign investment for production.
The new plant (shown in the picture) houses the two branches of the headquarters in China: the manufacturing company Marposs Nanjing Automation (MNA) and the sales and after-sales company Marposs Shanghai Trading (MST).
MST has several sales & after-sales branch offices located in the regions with the highest concentration of industrial activities:
- Shanghai to cover the East Area,
- Beijing for the North Area,
- Shenyang for the North-East Area,
- Wuhan for the Middle Area,
- Chongqing for the West Area,
- Guangzhou and Hong Kong for the South Area
Marposs Taiwan Co., Ltd. in Taichung covers the area of Taiwan.
The total number of employees in China is about 360. As a matter of fact, in any country where Marposs is present, the goal is to employ mostly local people, speaking the same language and thinking the same way as local customers. This applies to China, too, where all employees are local, with a select number of employees from the Marposs headquarters for management, coordination and training of local personnel.
Today Marposs professional teams are able to meet the most demanding expectations of working in sales and after-sales service to perform local design, manufacturing and assembly.
Marposs will continue its strong investment in China and the surrounding areas – through mergers and acquisitions, building new factories, and establishing new service stations – always in an effort to stay close to customers, a philosophy practiced from the beginning and a key factor to continued worldwide success.
