Zhangjiagang Fact-Finding Trip: Localization Insights & Exploration Tour at Trinseo & MINI Cooper

Amid ongoing shifts in global trade dynamics, evolving consumer behavior, and increasingly complex regulatory frameworks, foreign enterprises operating in China are finding it essential to rethink their operational models — from sourcing and production to branding and customer engagement.

To explore how multinational companies are adapting their strategies to better serve the Chinese market through deeper localization, we cordially invite you to an exclusive event taking place on Thursday, June 19th in Zhangjiagang. This event will gather industry experts and company representatives who will share valuable insights and strategic approaches on reshaping business models to meet the dynamic demands of the local market.

In addition to expert-led discussions, the program includes site visits to two prominent foreign-invested enterprises — Trinseo, a Swiss-headquartered materials solutions provider, and the Mini Cooper manufacturing facility, a new energy vehicle production site. These visits will offer firsthand perspectives on how global companies are successfully implementing the "In China, for China" strategy by transitioning from import-based operations to localized production and integrated supply chains.

This is a unique opportunity to gain first-hand knowledge of the practical implications and strategic considerations involved in shifting toward localized manufacturing and supply chain setups, including the localization of R&D capabilities, regulatory compliance, customs procedures, and long-term strategic planning for sustainable growth in China. We look forward to welcoming you to this insightful event!

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