1 min read
The metrology and spectroscopy specialist Renishaw has opened new branch offices in the Chinese cities of Suzhou and Xi'an to give local support to its expanding customer base. The offices, which will be managed by the company's wholly owned Chinese trading subsidiary Renishaw Shanghai (Trading) Co, are part of Renishaw's ongoing investment in China where it now has operations in eight different cities.
The Suzhou office, in the Suzhou Industrial Park, near the central business district, will have a team of sales and support staff serving customers in the Suzhou, Wuxi and Kunshan industrial areas. The Xi'an office is located in the central business district area, and will offer support to customers in Xi'an and the adjoining provinces.
Speaking about the new offices, Renishaw Shanghai managing director Paul Gallagher said, "The global downturn last year has not affected our business in China, where sales for our last financial year rose 75% and which continue to grow strongly for all our product lines. We have shown a long-term commitment to the Chinese market, where we opened our first office in 1994, and this has clearly been appreciated by our many customers in sectors as diverse as machine tools, motion control and materials research."
