Changzhou Fact-Finding Trip: Automation & Digitalization Insights and Tour at Mettler Toledo & Xingyu

Over the years, Swiss companies have maintained a strong manufacturing presence in the Yangtze River Delta region, especially in Changzhou. To commemorate the achievements of Swiss companies in sustainable development and industrial innovation, and to foster deeper collaboration between Swiss and Chinese manufacturers, we cordially invite you to an exclusive event taking place on Friday, July 25th in Changzhou as part of the "Sustainability Roadshow" of the Sino-Swiss Business Awards.

This event will gather industry experts and company representatives who will share valuable insights and strategic approaches on how automation and digitization can drive efficiency gains and business model transformation across industries, and how human-robot collaboration can reshape operations and workforce development.

In addition to expert-led discussions, the program includes site visits to two leading enterprises — Mettler Toledo, a Swiss provider of high-precision instruments used in research, quality control, production, logistics, and retail; and Xingyu, one of China's largest manufacturers and solution providers for complete automotive lamp assemblies. These visits will offer firsthand perspectives on how both companies are integrating digital technologies, automation, and sustainable practices into their production processes — setting new benchmarks in operational excellence, environmental responsibility, and workforce engagement.

This is a unique opportunity to gain first-hand knowledge of the practical implications and strategic considerations involved in shifting toward practical excellence in manufacturing, particularly in terms of quality management, digital transformation, and workforce empowerment. We look forward to welcoming you to this insightful event!

Please note that the language for this event is Chinese only.
