Establishing a WFOE in China A global supplier of aircraft interiors with manufacturing bases in Europe and the US, recognised it was under increasing pressure to reduce costs, improve after sales support and increase profitability. The Consultancy Company was asked to establish a low cost manufacturing operation in China to support all companies making up the client Group. This resulted in a fully operational spares and after sales support organisation with a business license to allow expansion into manufacturing. This was located in the geographic zone of the client’s choice and with processes developed in conjunction with local authorities to allow the spares unit to operate alone until it could be integrated into a larger manufacturing unit. |
