Delcam Opens Two More Offices in China to Meet Growing Demand
Delcam China has opened new offices in Wenzhou and Chongqing to meet the growing demand for its software in the country. The company achieved record monthly sales in December 2006 and is planning further growth during this year.
Wenzhou, which is located on the coast in Zhejiang Province, approximately half-way between Shanghai and Hong Kong, is a major centre for the country's footwear industry and, more recently, has seen considerable growth in other areas of manufacturing.
Chongqing, located on the Yangtze River, is the traditional hub for trade in western China and is now one of the fastest-growing urban centres in the world. The automotive industry is the main sector in the region, with aerospace and other heavy industries also strongly represented.
Delcam's other centres in China are the head office based in Beijing, plus regional centres in Shanghai, Shenzhen, Chengdu and Xi'an. In addition, Delcam operates joint ventures based in Taiwan and Hong Kong, and has successful resellers in Beijing, Chang Chun and Guangzhou.
"The Wenzhou office will enable us to provide better support to our customers in the region, in particular those in the footwear industry," explained Delcam's Business Development Manager for Greater China, Joe Zhou. "With the recent addition of the Crispin range of software to our existing set of programs for shoe design and manufacture, we are expecting to see considerable growth in our business from this sector."
"The region is also seeing more general growth in manufacturing, which should provide even more new business opportunities," added Mr. Zhou. "The new office will also reduce the amount of travelling that has been required of the staff in our Shanghai and Hong Kong offices, so giving them more time to support their more local customers."
"Chongqing also offers many opportunities for our software since we already support many of the leading automotive manufacturers in China. We expect to see particular growth in our business with the region's mouldmakers and other tooling manufacturers."
