Sharing New Energy｜SMA Yangzhong Factory Open Day Event Successfully Concluded

On April 12, the "SMA China 2018 Sharing New Energy" factory open day event came to a successful conclusion in Yangzhong, Jiangsu, one of SMA's two major global production bases.

In order to show customers the most realistic and comprehensive production management status of SMA, this factory open day event was specially arranged to allow customers to get close to SMA and understand SMA's corporate culture, management philosophy and development direction. At the same time, the meeting also arranged discussions and sharing on product reliability and development routes, policy analysis and other hot topics in the photovoltaic industry. The event attracted the participation of more than 200 customers and friends in the photovoltaic industry from all over the country.

Dr. Zhang Yong, President of SMA China, delivered an opening speech: "Yangzhong is a well-known 'Electrical Island' and 'Photovoltaic Island' in my country, and it is also the largest engineering electrical raw material market in China in the electrical industry. Last September, Yangzhong also successfully held the 'International Green Energy Development Conference'. This 'Famous Chinese Engineering Electrical City' is in line with SMA's vision of 'Energy Changing the World', and has also become SMA China's production base. SMA China's business modules are distributed in Suzhou Technology Center, Shanghai Business Center and Yangzhong Manufacturing Center. The company has leading technology, a complete quality system, and advanced management experience. Through the control and continuous improvement of the combination of software and hardware, it provides high-quality products, systems and complete supporting services to the global market."

Mr. Zhang said: "Today's factory open day event is a cyclical activity and work that SMA China has been carrying out for the past two years. The original intention of the event is to enhance understanding and communication. Especially with the rapid development of the distributed photovoltaic market, we continue to find that the Chinese market and customer friends are paying more and more attention to the technology and quality behind the product price, becoming more and more adept at calculating and comprehensively considering the full-cycle cost of products and projects, and increasingly relying on the long-term reliable operation and service of product partners. As a responsible German equipment manufacturer, we hope to use a platform such as the China Open Day to show our production management status and appearance, so that friends from all walks of life can have the most direct and intuitive experience of us, and also enable us to obtain and absorb many valuable guidance and suggestions in a timely manner. The opening of the factory also further cooperates with the opening of the business. We pursue the joint participation, sharing and win-win of all parties. With the goal of 'sharing new energy', we will share the industry feast with you."
