Spokane is a medium-sized company that manufactures and operates 120,000 kinds of laboratory chemicals and instruments, and 12,000 kinds of fine chemical products. It is characterized by a wide variety of products, although not much, but it is an indispensable species for chemical laboratories.
Why does the 95% of businesses in the United States come to China for business development? Zhang Xiujia said: First, because China is one of the fastest growing countries in the world, many multinational chemical companies came to China as early as the 1990s. Many of the customers in the United States have entered the Chinese market; Mr. Paul Burg, chairman and chief executive officer of Spbugger, is a Jewish man. As Mr. Burg Burg was deeply cherished in China during the Second World War, the Jewish refugee settlement established in Shanghai, China, protected tens of thousands of Jews from Nazi genocide. The feelings decided to seek development in China.
Thus, in 2003, Spokane established an office in Shanghai, mainly based on the inquiry from the US headquarters to purchase raw materials and crude chemical reagents. Currently, it has reached hundreds of products. In the past, these products had to be purchased from middlemen in the United States, and now they are directly purchased from Chinese production companies. Both the production and sales parties have met directly, the cooperation has been pleasant, and the business has grown bigger and bigger. Every day, a large amount of goods are exported to the United States.
Why build a laboratory in China? Zhang Xiujia explained that China is a big producer of chemical raw materials. When the company's business volume is larger, it is necessary to set up a product analysis organization in the producing country to timely inspect the quality of products. The current laboratory is carrying out the national CNAL certification and ISO17025 certification, and will further obtain GMP and US FDA certification. The laboratory is built according to the international advanced level. Based on long-term development, it is also the research and development center of Spokane in China. It mainly conducts the testing of fine chemicals, biochemicals, and research and development of new products, while providing services to customers. The lab plans to double the number of staff this year and double the amount of business.
The reporter suggested that it seems that the third strategic deployment of Si Baiquan in China is about to begin? Zhang Xiujia affirmed this statement. The establishment of the laboratory and R&D center by Spokane is also a preparation for the future establishment of a factory in China. The decision of Scarborough was solemn and cautious, and it will be divided into several steps: the first step is to set up an office in Shanghai, the second step is to build a laboratory, and the office is upgraded to a company; in order to take the third step, they will be in the second half of last year. The organizers went to several chemical parks in the Yangtze River Delta region for an inspection and put forward the overall vision for development in China. In the next one to two years, a fine chemical plant will be established based on the development of the market. Zhang Xiujia said that this year will focus on expanding the business of laboratory chemicals, instrumentation, and consumables in China, and achieve new breakthroughs. He said: 'We can come from behind. '
In a high-level business building in the center of Shanghai, the reporter interviewed Zhang Xiujia, the new president of the US-based Spokane Chemical (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., which was soon listed. The wealthy Chinese-American CEO told reporters that the Chinese laboratory built by the company, which is located in Zhangjiang Medicine Valley in Pudong, Pudong, Shanghai and invested US$5 million, has been officially established in the middle of December last year after more than six months of construction. This measure has been realized. Another strategic deployment of Spoon development in China.
