Fujian Province's Party Secretary and Governor Zhao Long led a delegation to Germany, aiming to implement President Xi Jinping's diplomatic vision, boost pragmatic cooperation, and bolster exchanges to further the China-Germany comprehensive strategic partnership.
During the visit, Governor Zhao and his team visited Hongfa Europe Company. General Manager Chen Jiaqiang welcomed them warmly on behalf of Chairman Guo Manjin, expressing gratitude for the Fujian government's support.
At Hongfa Europe, the delegation learned about the company's 40-year journey, especially its 1987 turnaround under Chairman Guo's leadership. Guided by the "Strive and Never Be Content" spirit, Hongfa has become a leading relay manufacturer since 2017.
Hongfa Europe's establishment stemmed from Guo's foresight. Over 20 years, it has grown from targeting white goods to expanding into automotive, industrial, and energy sectors across Europe, gaining customer trust through quality and service.
Governor Zhao praised Hongfa's European achievements and encouraged more Chinese companies to go global, offering competitive products and promoting China's voice.
The delegation also toured Hongfa's German factory. Chen highlighted that since introducing Siemens' D2 line 26 years ago, Hongfa has advanced in automation. The German factory's opening marks a shift from product export to technology and brand globalization, setting an example for Chinese manufacturing.
Looking ahead, under Chairman Guo's leadership, Hongfa will keep advancing its international strategy, enhancing brand influence, and expanding its global competitive edge to energize China-Germany economic cooperation.
