As a global company, we face numerous and complex challenges due to the diverse needs of different markets. To provide the best customer-centric experience, our management team travels to various international locations where we have operations. These visits allow us to interact directly with employees and customers, ensuring we understand and address their unique needs. Last week our board, including Philip Nelles, Claus Peter Spille, Michael Hofmann, and Hannes Friederichsen, embarked on a trip to China, packed with activities ranging from a townhall with employees to meetings with the distributor council and visits to customer workplaces. 🚀 Changshu Site: we explored the impressive diversity and expertise at our Changshu manufacturing site. With approximately 930 employees, the site produces a wide range of high-quality products, including solutions for motion and suction, anti-vibration, precision sealing, and more. 💬 Townhall: We held a townhall meeting with employees on-site and via livestream from other locations in China. Discussions focused on our vision, mission, and value ambitions. The Q&A session allowed for direct dialogue, reinforcing our commitment to transparency and collaboration. 👷 Customer Visits: Meeting with our customers is crucial to understanding their needs. We visited SANY Heavy Machinery in Kunshan and Sunward Group in Shanghai. These interactions helped us gain a deeper understanding of their challenges and how we can better support them. 🤝 Distributor Council Meeting: Engaging with key dealers and discussing their plans provided valuable market insights. The Customer Sharing Session offered a closer look at the daily lives of our customers. Without a doubt this trip to China reaffirmed our commitment to innovation, customer-centricity, and global collaboration. Together, we continue to drive excellence and achieve our strategic ambitions. #WeMoveTheWorld #China #CustomerCentricity
