Initial Situation
The drive and control branch of a German group corporation wants to increase its share in the Chinese market for agricultural machinery. The segment is one of the ten key industries in the ‘Made in China 2025’ strategy of the government in Beijing. It might be the right time to put a stronger focus on this industry.
Georg Stieler and his team have supported us highly competently and comprehensively. The project results form an important basis for our market development as well as for our localization strategy in China. Thanks to Stieler, we were able to systematically and efficiently plan and manage our activities in the Chinese agricultural machine market. The project results are an important part of our strategic planning.
