UK manufacturer Meech International has formed a wholly owned subsidiary in China - Meech Static Eliminators (Shanghai). The company is winning an increasing number of sales from China and during the next 12 months it will also be opening offices in Beijing and Guangzhou.
“China is a very important market for us and also for many of our OEM customers, several of which have set up local manufacturing facilities and sales channels,” says CEO Chris Francis. This new subsidiary is the next stage in our expansion plan to provide even more comprehensive on-the-ground sales and support to our OEM partners, as well as Chinese companies.
“With China becoming ever more important it is vital that we ensure customers receive the same high level of after-sales care that we provide to companies nearer to home.”
The new Shanghai operation is headed by general manager George Ren, whose current staff of six is expected to increase significantly over the coming months.
“We don’t intend to produce equipment in China because the expertise and manufacturing facilities are so extensive at the Meech factory in the UK,” says Mr Ren. “However, it is vital that Chinese customers have immediate access to support in their own language and timescale, with the ability for technical engineers to make on-site calls when required.
