My enlightenment story · big market 丨 three "20,000 steps", I took new opportunities at the Expo

The 5th Expo has entered the final sprint stage. In the past five years, the "circle of friends" of the Expo has become larger and larger. With the Expo as the link, more and more foreign companies are optimistic about China and invest in China. In the past five years, various "expo stories" have also occurred in the "circle of friends" of the Expo. These stories are records of enterprises and even individuals, and they have grown together with the Expo. Witness. On June 1st, we launched the "My Entrance Story" solicitation activity, and published a number of outstanding works around the theme of the "Great Strategy" in July. In August, we will focus on the theme of the "big market" and continue to share the common memory of the "circle of friends" of the Expo, telling the Expressway of the Expo to transform the Chinese market into global dividends. Let's take the "Expo Story" as a citation, and I wish the Fifth Expo for a smooth hosting together, and look forward to the wonderful and official performance!

Chen Wei, general manager of China District China

A thousand miles begins with a single step. Looking back at the past four sessions of the Expo, I have left footprints in many places -the partners' booths, signing sites, factories when the project landed, and the office of the government where the investment is located ... all of these places record me The story of the blog, but it really wants to start with three "20,000 steps".

The first "20,000 steps" is the number of steps I walk every day during each Expo. It is the best testimony of every cooperation and gain reached by the German Schott Group at the Expo. Essence

In 2018, Schott and Zhejiang Crystal Optoelectronics founded a joint venture. Under the recommendation of the Zhejiang Provincial Department of Commerce, we participated in the first Expo. Frankly speaking, the company only tried to participate in the exhibition at that time, so the booth area was only 36 square meters. However, unexpectedly, the number of steps at the exhibition at the exhibition can easily exceed 20,000 steps. Why is this so? Afterwards, I summarized the reason: at the scene of the Expo, the epitome of the entire Chinese market vividly placed in front of me. Therefore, I was excited to talk to the merchants at the exhibition at the exhibition site, and participated in various activities such as centralized signing. I also signed an agreement with many companies and established a cooperative relationship. After the closing of the first Expo in the first Expo, I immediately informed each team member: "For Shawt, the Expo will be the most important national exhibition every year in the future." From then on, we have not none of us in the Expo. fall.

As the scale of the Expo has become larger, our booth area has also expanded to 180 square meters. We need to visit and visit upstream and downstream companies and more and more cooperation. In the field of pharmaceuticals, our glass tube business department signed an agreement with Shuangfeng Gresheim. Contribute. In the field of optical communications, we have signed contracts with Guangxun Technology and China CITC for three consecutive years, helping 5G communications flourish.

The second "20,000 steps" is the footprint of my investment place, representing the Schott Group's platform to go deep into the Chinese market by taking the expo platform, and then harvest the journey of development opportunities.

In recent years, Schott has increased investment, new factories, and introducing high -end production lines in China. It has really helped the transformation and upgrading of the Chinese manufacturing industry locally, and promoted the change of Chinese manufacturing from "quantitative" to "quality". Among them, the investment in the pharmaceutical glass pipe factory still makes me feel fresh.

The successful holding of the first Expo has strengthened the confidence of Shake's construction of a glass -tube plant in China. In August 2019, the factory officially laid the foundation. However, just half a year later, the new crown epidemic broke out, and whether the glass -tube plant that was still under construction could witness the "China speed" smoothly put into production, it was a "sword" hanging on everyone's head at that time.

During the most difficult period of the epidemic, we ran on the front line every day, overcoming difficulties with the support of the local government. In the end, the factory was successfully completed and put into operation as planned. The first time we used the borosilicon glass bottle that was urgently needed during the vaccine production process as a priority category. Schott has also become one of the most important first packaging suppliers in China and even the world's new crown vaccine.

At the Fourth Expo, we announced that we would add two major investment in the medical field. One is the project of the Medical System Division to invest 380 million yuan in Yiyun, and the other is the construction of the second phase of the pharmaceutical glass pipe factory for additional 70 million euros. Today, two investment is being implemented. Not only that, with the platform of the Expo, Schott's mobile phone cover glass products are also rolling in the Chinese market. Since the launch of the Schott ®UTG ultra -thin flexible glass at the Expo, we have developed the application development of foldable mobile phones with many well -known mobile phone brands in China. At present, many flagship models have applied this flexible glass and met with consumers.

Today, China has become the largest consumer market in Shite. However, China's charm is not only the scale of the market, but also the country with the most complete industry chain. China has become one of the important sources of global scientific and technological innovation. In order to further enhance corporate innovation capabilities, Shutter announced at the second Expo and announced the establishment of the Asia -Pacific R & D Center in Suzhou to provide cutting -edge technical support for ultra -thin glass, 5G communication, AR/VR, energy storage and other industries. Today, the R & D center has been put into operation.

The third "20,000 steps" represent the expectations of the future development prospects of the company and the Schott Group, which is the pace of my future at a certain time.

I look forward to the development results and advanced technologies made by the Schott through the Expo platform to take out the global market by one day. After the closing of the Fourth Expo, when I reported it to the headquarters, I learned a exciting news: In order to achieve the group's 2030 carbon neutrality, the technical experts of Schart have begun to test. Can come to large -scale production of glass. I deeply realize that the understanding of expanding opening up and helping dual cycles can not only stay at the trade level. While providing high -quality products for global markets, we also need to continue to strengthen international industrial exchanges through the platform of the Expo. , Improve the well -being of the entire human society. The glass industry is a traditional and modern industry. Human beings have burned glass in the original kiln thousands of BC, and this process requires extremely high temperature and a lot of energy consumption. However, from invention and improvement of special glass formulas to continuous improvement of production technology and making production processes more environmentally friendly, companies such as Schute's technology research and development as the leading, in the history of the past 140 years, are promoting special specials step by step. The glass industry moves towards modernization. At present, Schott is developing a new environmentally friendly low -carbon -type glass melting process. I earnestly look forward to in the near future, Shite's factory in China can fully implement this technology and become the leader, pioneer and caringman of this technology.

Four years with entering the blog, Schott has gained unparalleled growth. Through participation in the Expo, Shite's confidence in the Chinese market is becoming more firm, and continuous investment in the Chinese market has become Schott's future strategic choice.

As a promoter of a friendship between China and Germany, Dr. Frankheinricht, CEO of Schott Group, has always attached great importance to the development of Schott in China. Recently, at the invitation of the Chinese Ambassador to Germany, Dr. He Derrey exchanged with Mr. Schter Group on behalf of the Ambassador Schutery Group in Berlin, Germany to introduce the activities and investment in China in China. In the process of communication, Dr. He highly praised China's toughness and organizational power under the epidemic, and encouraged Shart China to face the challenge to follow the attitude of opening up and not forgetting his original intention. This makes us encouraged.

With the increasingly approaching of the Fifth Expo, Dr. He sent a blessing to the Expo from Germany. Based on the important role of glass manufacturing in the global low -carbon economy transformation, Shut will use the opportunity of the Fifth Expo to continue to contribute to the low -carbon development path of the special glass industry, leading the special glass industry to welcome the new in the Chinese market. In the era, the co -creation can sustain the future.

Chen Wei, male, joined Schott, Germany in 2011, and served as general manager of Shawt China, Germany. Previously, Mr. Chen Wei had rich experience in the fields of chemical industry, energy, advanced materials, automotive electronics and transportation safety. This year will be the 5th consecutive year of the Schott Group. Over the past five years, under the promotion of Mr. Chen Wei, the area of ​​Shawt exhibition has increased year by year, and he has deeply felt the development opportunities brought by the "entertainment effect" to the enterprise.
