After setting up a separate Kiekert subsidiary in Changshu, Kiekert AG and Henan Xingguang Machinery & Electric Co, Ltd have now decided to restructure their Chinese operations.
This new agreement allows the two companies to conduct their future operations in China without restrictions. In order to make this independence clear externally as well as internally, Kiekert will from now on no longer be included in the name of the joint venture previously operated by the two companies.
The two companies will still have the same relationship under company law, but the operational collaboration will change so that Kiekert has a purely financial interest in the Chinese joint venture company. This change in strategy is an amicable arrangement that has been mutually agreed.
Kiekert will from now on be operating on its own in the Asian market with its worldwide tried and tested technology and its exciting innovations. Henan North Xingguang Machinery & Electric Co., Ltd will carry on supplying customers with its products and technology based on the success it has achieved with its locking systems.
Both companies are looking forward to a promising future in a booming Chinese automobile market.
