Mr Stephan Buurma, Member of the Board of Management of Messe Frankfurt Group, commented: “Our expansion into a third automotive manufacturing base in China is a decisive move in the Company’s coverage of the largest global automotive market, along with our overall exploration of the Greater Bay Area. Messe Frankfurt and Sinomachint have an impressive industry network across the domestic and overseas automotive supply chain. Because of this, furthering our collaboration will help promote international trade amongst Chinese suppliers and boost the internal circulation of automotive goods.”
Mr Li Xiaoyu, Deputy General Manager of China National Machinery Industry Corporation, said: “As a Chinese state-owned enterprise, SINOMACH shoulders the responsibility of stimulating the country’s machinery industry by promoting innovation and optimising the supply chain. Our subsidiary, Sinomachint, advocates this through its exhibition and trade services, which foster cooperation between overseas and domestic markets. In this regard, our long-term relationship with Messe Frankfurt continues to go from strength to strength in support of China’s automotive industry development, with our strategic advantages and resources complementing both parties.”
