Unlike previous trips to China, Metz brought board members with him to provide them with first-hand insights into the dynamic Chinese market。Metz and the board visited the Greater China headquarters in Shanghai, the Industrial Assembly plant and two factories in Wuxi High-tech Zone。
Long-term commitment
As early as the 1920s, Atlas Copco Group has entered the Greater China region。Originally an import market for Atlas Copco products, the Group has since expanded to provide a range of innovative products and services based on our expertise in compressors, vacuums, industrial and power technologies to energize emerging industries in China。
The Atlas Copco Group now has more than 40 entities in Greater China and about 8,000 employees, and China has become one of our important business hubs。
Sustainable innovation
"The first thing that comes to my mind about the Chinese market is speed," Mr. Metz said. "The speed of development and the speed of innovation." "The Chinese market also has a very international role。In the past, we focused on China because of China, but now we also see that China has a lot of influence on the rest of Asia。”
"Scale" is the second word Metz uses to describe the Chinese market。China has more than 14 With a population of 100 million, the market demand is huge。China is the Group's largest market in Asia and the second largest in the world。Therefore, Metz is very optimistic about the future potential of the Chinese market。China's pursuit of sustainable development represents a huge opportunity for Atlas Copco Group。
Metz was particularly impressed by the rapid rise of China's auto industry, especially the electric car market。He shared: "In Shanghai, I see green license plates everywhere now。Two years ago, I had never seen a Chinese electric car in Sweden, and now I see ads for Chinese electric cars every day。”
The Atlas Copco Group has long been committed to finding sustainable solutions, and the new Group core message "The Future of technological Change", released in November, highlights the importance of "innovation" for the Group's development。Metz expressed his expectations to Xinhua: "If you see more electric vehicles, more use of hydrogen and liquefied natural gas, then as a promoter of these new technologies, we hope to play an important role in it.。”

Metz said that Atlas Copco Group will continue to strengthen its investment in China, promote local business development and research and development, and bring innovation, cost savings, better quality products and more responsive services to customers, so as to play an important role in the Chinese market and other markets。
"For a company, in a sense, if you're not number one in China, then you can't be number one in the world。
