Murata Manufacturing : Announcing the establishment of the Wuhan Branch of Murata Electronics Trading (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., Murata's sales company in China
Murata Electronics Trading (Shanghai) Co., Ltd., one of the
sales companies of Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd. in China,
recently established the Wuhan Branch, which is ready to
start operating on October 24. This is the trading
company's sixth outpost following its branches in
Suzhou, Hangzhou, Chengdu, Chongqing and Xi'an.
Background
In recent years, the business center in the Greater China
Region has been moving away from the coastal areas to the
interior areas, and the establishment of new production
bases and R&D bases and relocation of existing bases have
evolved into a prominent trend. Start-up companies based in
the interior are experiencing solid growth, and the search
for ways and means to step up their sales activities in the
interior, meet the requirements of their customers in a
timely manner and provide more individualized services have
become an important issue on their operations agenda.
Wuhan is a major city that represents the interior area and
until now we have performed marketing focusing on
automobiles and communications infrastructure. However,
similar to other major cities in the interior areas such as
Chongqing, this is an area where customers are shifting
their production from the coastal areas. We have
established this branch in this area because we anticipate
demand to increase in the future and we consider it to be
an important region for developing our business in Greater
China Region.
This branch will sell our group company's products and
supply services mainly to our customers in the Wuhan area.
We will continue to enhance our customer support system in
the interior areas while considering further expansion of
our sales base in the future.
