Switzerland : Uster Technologies enters China thru new subsidiary

Worldwide leader in textile electronics producing systems and the creation of a brand which has a truly unique position in the textile industry Uster Technologies AG announced last year that part of their future production and development activities should be carried out in China.

After a relatively brief construction phase, the opening of this new subsidiary company was celebrated in the Singapore Industrial Park in Suzhou, a thriving technology center west of Shanghai.

Guests from both Uster and from Uster's Shanghai office took part along with employees from Suzhou and also distinguished local guests.

The company clearly identified China as a significant market for Uster Technologies AG.

"Their customers have benefited from recent investments in their established and recently expanded Sales and Service operations to increase their presence in all the major textile areas, with local sales and service engineers in Beijing, Shanghai, Qingdao, Urumuqi and Wuhan."

But being close to the market also means being able to offer their customers in China tailor-made solutions for this critical market.

"With the new plant they can accommodate this growing need and handle the production of monitoring systems efficiently and geared to specific customer requirements."

With the subsidiary in Suzhou, Uster Technologies AG plans to take advantage of the currently largest growth market in the world.

Uster Technologies is convinced that the plant will operate at full capacity in the near future and also allow the company to react fast and flexibly to market requirements.

The plant enjoys an excellent infrastructure and is well positioned both traffic-wise and logistically.

The opening ceremony was accompanied by traditional fireworks to conjure up good spirits.

This event also gave Uster Technologies' new General Manager for China, Naiming Wei, the opportu-nity to get to know the company and its staff.

The event continued with a tour of the company fol-lowed by luncheon in a restaurant, where the hope was expressed that the young company will grow and develop well.

Uster Technologies AG is the world's leading supplier of quality controlling systems for testing fiber, yarn and fabric in the textile industry.

USTER has 470 employees and produces in Uster (Switzerland), Knoxville (USA) and in Suzhou (China) and has 26 sales and service agencies worldwide.
