Imagining the future through automation

Swisslog offers intralogistics solutions for a growing range of industrial needs in China.

Automation is essential for the success of a company. It is the key to coping with the increasing complexity of business processes caused by fast growth, intense competition, increasing requirements for quality and traceability, demographic development and cost pressure.

In addition to its Asian regional headquarters in Shanghai, Swisslog operates in 20 countries around the world - designing, developing and delivering best-in-class automation solutions for warehouses, distribution centers and hospitals.

"China is our fastest growing market and we are very proud of our footprint with over 50 successful customer installations there," said Peter Hettich, CEO of Swisslog.

"Our Chinese production facility serves our customers worldwide and also produces localized products for the local Chinese market."

In recent years, notable customer projects in China have included Luzon Pharmaceutical Group, Bushranger Ingelheim, Yantai Changyu Group, Coca-Cola, Shanghai Hayian Logistics Development, Dongguan Timeexpress Logistics and Hangzhou Cigarette Factory.

"We serve a range of attractive market segments in China - from e-commerce and multichannel retailing over the pharmaceutical industry and temperature-controlled food to the tobacco and banking industries," said Hettich.

"Our mission in China is to be a lifetime partner for our customer's automation needs," said Choon Foong Wong, head of warehouse and distribution solutions in Swisslog China whose customer base is 70 percent local Chinese companies.

"We have a strong track record of 20 years in project implementation - offering Swiss quality and reliability - but with a strong local approach. This provides us with a distinct competitive edge, especially when it comes to customer service as we develop our business further here."
