Pinghu Fact Finding Trip – Localization Insights & Factory Tour at Autoneum and Great Wall Vehicles

In the face of rising local competition and market saturation, foreign companies must rethink product and service offerings to achieve operational agility and faster time-to-market. Long-term success requires strategic adaptation and deeper integration into local ecosystems.

SwissCham, in partnership with Pinghu Economic Development Zone and the local foreign-invested enterprise association, invites you to an exclusive event on Friday, September 12th in Pinghu.

Industry experts and company leaders will explore how automotive businesses can maintain competitive advantage in China. Focusing on intelligentization and deeper localization, discussions will cover strategic differentiation, operational agility, and accelerated time-to-market. Speakers from leading international automotive firms will share insights on long-term value creation, while a UBS representative will provide a forward-looking industry outlook.

The program also includes site visits to two leading automotive enterprises. At Autoneum, the Swiss-headquartered innovator in thermal and acoustic management, participants will see how global suppliers localize operations, integrate supply chains, and advance sustainability. At Great Wall Motor, one of China's most dynamic automakers, attendees will tour a full-scale production line and learn how a domestic leader scales innovation and competes globally.

This is a unique opportunity to gain practical insights into localization, sustainability, and competitive growth. We look forward to welcoming you.

Note: The event will be conducted primarily in Chinese, with AI translation available.
