Thirtieth Delcam sales and support office opens in China

The latest addition is based in Qingdao on the eastern coast and is the eighth office to be established by the Delcam China subsidiary. Delcam China's other centres are the head office based in Beijing, plus regional offices in Shanghai, Shenzhen, Chengdu, Xi'an, Wenzhou and Chongqing. In addition, the Delcam Hong Kong and Delcam Taiwan joint ventures operate two offices each in China, and there are also 18 reseller offices in the country. The Qingdao region is one of few manufacturing centres in China where Delcam was not previously represented. The area is a major centre for the manufacture of domestic appliances and automotive components, but is also seeing a general expansion in its local industry. As the Chinese region nearest to Korea, the area has attracted investment from many leading Korean manufacturers. "The establishment of our Qingdao office is another step towards ensuring that all of our customers in China can have access to local support from experienced engineers," said Delcam's business development manager for Greater China, Joe Zhou. "In addition, Delcam has always been extremely successful in Korea and the new office will help support our Korean customers that are expanding into the Qingdao region." The opening of its 30th outlet in the country comes at a time when Delcam's sales in China are at record levels. Sales in the first four months of this year are more than 25 per cent up on the same period last year.
