German Centre Taicang celebrates 5th<\/sup> Anniversary<\/h1>\n

On June 2nd<\/sup>, 2021 German Centre for Industry and Trade Taicang Co. Ltd (GC Taicang) celebrated its 5th<\/sup> anniversary together with 150 business partners, tenants and government representatives.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cTaicang is not a mega city like Beijing or Shanghai, where the other German Centre are located, but it has developed into the Chinese capital of famous German SMEs, the so-called \u2018hidden champions\u2019 with close to 400 German companies at present. \u201c<\/em>, said Christian Sommer<\/strong>, Chairman of GC Taicang, who initiated the expansion of the GC network from Shanghai to Taicang more than five years ago. \u201cWe are proud of being part of this successful development.\u201d <\/em>And he added: \u201cThe strong, highly professional and ongoing support of the Taicang government laid the foundation of that success story.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cIt is a milestone for the city of Taicang to be listed in the GC network besides Beijing and Shanghai. The visibility and attractiveness of our city for German investors have significantly increased with a German Centre in town.\u201d<\/em>, party secretary and Mayor of Taicang city, Mr. Wang Xiang Yuan<\/strong> stated.<\/p>\n

Specialized service providers have been among the first tenants of GC Taicang. Ms. Hu Pingwen<\/strong>, Senior Partner of Ecovis Ruide Certified Public Accountants recalled the reasoning to expand to Taicang: \u201cWe believed in the investment vision of German Centre five years ago and set up our office in GC Taicang in order to serve our customers on the spot\u201d<\/em>. Mrs. Qing Cheng<\/strong>, Partner and Joschka Barde, Associate Partner at R\u00f6dl & Partner, one of the leading German professional services firms, outlined the image: \u201dGC Taicang is the first address for office, service and quality. Our employees really like to work here. Congratulations! We are looking forward to the next years to come.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

One of German Centre`s largest tenants, Datadirect, an IT security & service specialist, was already present in Taicang and decided to relocate its office to the German Centre once it opened five years ago. \u201cReliable service, high quality and good maintenance of the facilities \u2013 a rare combination to find elsewhere in Taicang. A good move at the right time.\u201d<\/em>, said Markus Woehrle<\/strong>, General Manager of Datadirect Taicang.<\/p>\n

\u201cGerman Centre is an extremely responsible and cordial landlord. During the pandemic, tenants\u00b4 rents were discounted on German Centre\u00b4s initiative. And on every traditional Chinese holiday, they are always the first to send us festive greetings and gifts.\u201d<\/em>, said the Assistant to General Manager, Mr. Zhang Yong<\/strong>, from the large Chinese CGN Advanced Nuclear Materials Group with respect and thanks to the GC management team.<\/p>\n

Suzhou Sandesign, a local design and event construction company, headed by General Manager Mr. June Shi<\/strong>, compliments on the efficient and caring service: \u201cThe comfortable office surrounding allows Sandesign to sail steadily on our company\u00b4s innovative business development journey\u201d<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cTaicang is a livable, small town, child- and eco-friendly with a wide range of leisure time facilities from theater to sports and restaurants. We have not one day regretted to move here.\u201d<\/em>, voiced Ms. Marieke Bossek<\/strong>, deputy general manager of GC Taicang, who moved from Shanghai to Taicang four years ago.<\/p>\n

GC Taicang is a subsidiary of GC Shanghai<\/a>, which belongs to the BayernLB<\/a>, Munich. The GC Taicang provides first class office facilities and acts as professional business platform for networking and cooperation. The current occupancy rate is 90% with close to 50 companies as its tenants.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>
