Growing by Localization: A Case in China's Automation and Robotics Industry 
11 May 2023; 12:30 - 13:30 CET / 18:30 - 19:30 CST 
Online 
Organizer: CEIBS (Zurich) + CNBW

Subject: The automation sector is undergoing rapid growth worldwide. European manufacturers have long served China successfully with solutions for industrial automation. However, as domestic innovation and development is gaining momentum, strategies need to be revised and adapted to thrive. Join us in this webinar in partnership with CNBW - China Netzwerk Baden-Württemberg where we speak to one medium sized, privately owned enterprise to share its most recent experiences in the market. Schmalz is market leader in complex vacuum gripping systems.

We will hear how they manage their growth in the face of intense competition. Faced with the need to move their operations, hear how they figured out how to plan and build a new China headquarters. Find out how they have learned from the west and from the east to successfully localize products to meet price and quality demands and what is happening "down on the ground" in automation and handling with robotics. Join us to find out how SMEs can successfully generate growth in China’s automation market.

Speakers: 

Christoph Hupays (Senior Manager Localization & Operational Excellence, Schmalz China), Jochen Schultz (Managing Director, China Netzwerk Baden-Württemberg)
