Great expat-ations

Why China?

In the early mid-1990s the decomposition of the former Yugoslavia was well under way. Companies from Serbia were under an embargo imposed on the import and export of all products to and from Europe and America.

The largest producer of machine tools from this area, Lola Corporation from Belgrade, found itself in this situation. A decision was made to try to work our way in the Chinese market and open it wider for our business. I came to China with this precise task and with big hopes.
