HANZA Strengthens Cluster Concept Strategy in China
September 5, 2016 | HANZA Holding ABEstimated reading time: Less than a minute
HANZA Holding AB has appointed Marco Gentili as new manager of HANZA China.
"It's a very engaging mission to lead HANZAs business in China," said Gentili, who has an extensive experience of running businesses in China. "The possibilities are numerous and there already exists a good foundation on which the business can be further developed."
HANZA has two production plants outside of Shanghai, China. To further enhance the support to customers in need of local production in China, the management of the plants are coordinated in accordance with HANZA’s cluster concept.
The cluster concept coordinates various manufacturing technologies in geographical areas, which are important to the group’s customers. The cluster concept has been strengthened in Europe and now actions are made in China.
"Rethinking is needed because the manufacturing map has changed," said Erik Stenfors, CEO of HANZA. "In China, production decreases for Europe, while production for the local market increases. We are developing a structure for manufacturing flow in China, which, combined with the Europe manufacturing flow, creates high customer value."
