[Fully Booked] Visit to Pinghu EDZ, Autoneum China, and Great Wall Motors

Dear Members and Friends of SwissCham,

SwissCham Shanghai is delighted to invite you to visit Pinghu Economic-Technological Development Zone (PEDZ). PEDZ is a national level development zone located within one hour driving distance away from downtown Shanghai, and well connected with highways, CRH trains, international airports and harbors. With the advantageous location, PEDZ has been one of the best choices for manufacturers relocating away from Shanghai.

Pinghu Economic-Technological Development Zone (PEDZ) has been focusing on developing foreign investment industries since 1996. European (German) Industrial Park is one of our best developed industry areas. For over 20 years, many world's famous brands (including 25 Fortune Top 500 companies) have set up their branches and headquarters in PEDZ such as Thyssen Krupp, DB Schenker, ADM, Cargill, Samsung, Wacker Neuson, Viessmann, Thermofin, Great Wall Motors, etc.

During our trip, we will pay a visit to 2 companies: Autoneum China​ and Great Wall Motors ​Pinghu Plant.

Welcome to join this full-day business trip. We look forward to seeing you there!

Best regards,

Your SwissCham Team
