English 20 years of EGELHOF in Suzhou
Suzhou/February 2025
From the first step in china to a successful location
EGELHOF can proudly look back on 20 years of successful company history in Suzhou. In February 2005 the plant Egelhof Regelungstechnik (Suzhou) Co., Ltd. was opened in the east of the People's Republic of China near Shanghai. This opening was not only a significant step in the company's geographical expansion, but also an important milestone for its presence in the Asian market. Today this site is an indispensable part of the global structure and a major player in the automotive industry.
First steps in the Chinese market
But the company's history in China began even earlier: EGELHOF took its first business steps in this dynamic market back in 1998, paving the way for future expansion. In 2002, the company set up a joint venture in Shanghai to establish closer relations with Chinese companies and better understand local needs.
A few years later EGELHOF decided to become independent and founded Egelhof Regelungstechnik (Suzhou) Co, Ltd. in 2005. What started with 6 people has now developed into a successful location with around 80 employees. This success is not only the result of strategic decisions, but above all the commitment and loyalty of the local team.
Teamwork as the foundation of success
The past 20 years have shown the importance of taking on new challenges and driving innovation together. The team in Suzhou is characterised by stability, reliability and perseverance. Some employees have been an integral part of the team since the early years and, together with the EGELHOF Group, have mastered the challenges associated with the development and success of the site.
Due to the technological leadership of Chinese OEMs in the field of electric vehicles, the Chinese market will play an even more important role in EGELHOF's global strategy in the future. Our established site in Suzhou, together with the new joint venture TEQ, will be a particularly important part of the EGELHOF Group's future market and technology strategy.
