He focuses on local\u00adiza\u00adtion and close collab\u00ado\u00adra\u00adtion with the sister company Wonder which has a produc\u00adtion site in north-eastern China. \u201cWith Wonder and our Sales, Service and After\u00adsales unit here in Shanghai, we have two compa\u00adnies with different strengths, so we comple\u00adment each other perfectly.\u201d He wants to make an impact in the diffi\u00adcult Chinese market. \u201cOnce we have sold a machine, we are able to cover the entire port\u00adfolio locally \u2013 from instal\u00adla\u00adtion right down to service. The fact that we have our own pool of tech\u00adni\u00adcians here on site also means we can carry out main\u00adte\u00adnance work ourselves,\u201d explains the Regional Director.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Once we have sold a machine, we are able to cover the entire port\u00adfolio locally \u2013 from instal\u00adla\u00adtion right down to service.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><cite>Karl\u00adheinz M\u00f6schke<\/cite><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2>Special machine for Chinese customers<\/h2>\n<p>With its \u201cChina 25\u201d project, Uhlmann China \u2013 in tandem with Wonder \u2013 is going one step further: the two sister compa\u00adnies are launching their own machine on the Chinese market. The Uhlmann ECO 700 is based on the BEC 700 which is built in Laupheim. M\u00f6schke explains: \u201cThe machine for the Euro\u00adpean market is highly complex on account of the exten\u00adsive equip\u00adment options. The machine for China comes with a smaller scope of supply and can thus be offered as a pre-produced system at a more favor\u00adable price. &nbsp;We have pre-produc\u00adtion machines here that are equipped in line with market require\u00adments and can be deliv\u00adered to the customer within a very short time.\u201d In November, we show\u00adcased the digital version of the Uhlmann ECO 700 at the CIPM trade fair in China, and the response was excel\u00adlent! \u201cIn future, we will be able to approach customers and offer them a complete \u2018Made in China\u2019 line \u2013 including instal\u00adla\u00adtion, after\u00adsales, service, a 24\/7 hotline, and even in-house training in Chinese,\u201d says M\u00f6schke. The next goal has already been set: In future, customers should receive their spare parts from our local ware\u00adhouse in China within two days.<\/p>\n<p>M\u00f6schke is not running out of ideas to survive in the compet\u00adi\u00adtive Asian market any time soon. \u201cI really enjoy every\u00adthing here, and that\u2019s also because we can work so inde\u00adpen\u00addently here.\u201d In general, he finds that China has an incred\u00adible amount to offer outside work. He and his wife and two chil\u00addren feel very much at home in Shanghai, a megacity with myriad leisure activ\u00adi\u00adties and a large inter\u00adna\u00adtional expat commu\u00adnity. But he is also enthu\u00adsi\u00adastic about Beijing, Xiamen and Kunming, the \u201cCity of Eternal Spring\u201d, where thou\u00adsands of colorful flowers bloom all year round. So he rarely feels home\u00adsick. \u201cLife is simply good here in Asia. It\u2019s a great place to be for me and my family.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3036\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3036\" style=\"width: 680px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-3036 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/pactuell.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/11\/IMG_3817_1800x1200px_COL_01GW-680x453.jpg\" alt width=\"680\" height=\"453\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pactuell.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/11\/IMG_3817_1800x1200px_COL_01GW-680x453.jpg 680w, https:\/\/pactuell.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/11\/IMG_3817_1800x1200px_COL_01GW-980x653.jpg 980w, https:\/\/pactuell.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/11\/IMG_3817_1800x1200px_COL_01GW-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/pactuell.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/11\/IMG_3817_1800x1200px_COL_01GW-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/pactuell.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2023\/11\/IMG_3817_1800x1200px_COL_01GW.jpg 1800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\"><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3036\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Spec\u00adtac\u00adular sunsets, open people, culi\u00adnary and scenic diver\u00adsity.
