Marc Schier, vice president of Linde Engineering, a German industrial gases and engineering company, said that the CIIE has enabled Linde to better engage with Chinese clients as well as establish connections and exchange ideas with its customers and partners in China.
He added that Linde has been an active participant in the CIIE and will continue to attend this year's expo.
Lars Michael Bopf, chairman of Nobilia, a manufacturer of kitchen furniture, said that the company hopes to enhance its brand image and visibility, as well as expand its business in China by participating in the sixth CIIE.
Nobilia has been exporting products to China for 25 years and has 150 stores in the country, Bopf noted, adding that China is now their largest export market.
