In this newsletter, we are pleased to announce the newly joined member companies, Steinemann, Tschudin and PB Swiss Tools. We also warmly thank Mikron Tool and Widler & Schiemann for their renewal of the membership. The Swiss Centers development has been possible only thanks to the trust and continuous support of the member companies.

In return, we continue to bring more benefits and value-added services to our growing cluster. For example, our facility at Shanghai Waigaoqiao gathers some 20 companies, who are benefiting from the Free Trade Zone policies and our trade specialist’s support in handling the custom declaration, logistics, and application of Sino-Swiss FTA.

This year we also engage ourselves to organize a Swiss Centers Cluster Booth in the 2nd CIIE, in the Food and Quality Life area, to help increase the visibility and raise the awareness of the Swiss brands and products towards the Chinese consumers. More than a dozen of Swiss companies already confirmed their participation, and for those who are interested to join, please kindly contact us as soon as possible to catch the last remaining spots.

Last but not least, we would like to introduce you Mr. Kuno Gschwend, as our new Deputy General Manager in China. He takes over the position from Ms. Emmanuelle Roduit, who decides to return to Switzerland after years in China. We thank Emma for her great work and contribution and wish her all the best in the future. Kuno Gschwend, together with the Swiss Centers team, will continue to serve our members and support the Swiss businesses development in China!
