Under the motto of “Inspired by Tradition—Built for Innovation,” Schreiner Group opened Chinese production site in the greater Shanghai area in spring of 2016. Ten years after its foundation, the site has become an integral part of the company’s international structure. With their visit on the occasion of the anniversary, CEO Roland Schreiner and Thomas Köberlein, President of the Schreiner ProTech business unit, reaffirmed the strategic importance of the site.

Focus on Employees
The anniversary focused on dialogue with employees. In his address to the workforce, Roland Schreiner paid tribute to the site’s development and the team’s commitment: “What has been achieved here over the past ten years clearly demonstrates how successfully our internationalization strategy has been implemented.”

Dialog on Site
A key element of the visit was the exchange with the local Chinese authorities and with customers. Together with representatives of the authorities, Roland Schreiner and Thomas Köberlein toured the Jinshan Industrial Park. “A relationship of trust with the local authorities is an important foundation for stability and further growth,” said the president of the business unit. The discussions with customers also highlighted the value of local presence: proximity to the market, short distances, and reliable partnerships strengthen Schreiner Group’s position in the international environment.

Dynamic Development
The site in China was founded in 2016 and has developed dynamically ever since. Today, the plant supplies both international and local customers from the automotive, general industry, and pharmaceutical sectors. Jamie Long, General Manager of Schreiner Group (Shanghai) Company Ltd., emphasizes: “Our presence in Shanghai enables us to be very close to our customers, understand their requirements in detail, and quickly translate them into suitable solutions.”

Looking Ahead
The tenth anniversary therefore marks not only a look back, but also a look ahead. The Jinshan site remains a central pillar of Schreiner Group’s international strategy—supported by strong local roots, global standards, and continuous dialog with employees, partners, and customers.
