With the relocation ofBeijing branch office, TUV SUD will be well placed to integrate its external and internal resources to continue delivering efficient "one-stop" technical service for local export companies inBeijing. This major investment is a solid step for TUV SUD towards rapid development and market expansion.
TUV SUD has been doing business in China for nearly 25 years, and started its operations inBeijing in 1997. The Beijing Branch office was established in 2004 to meet the growing business need. In 2006, the business expanded to the northern region inChina with Beijing as the hub. With a focus on local collaboration and training local technical experts, TUV SUD Greater China's business operations offer Industry Service, Product Service, Management Service as well as automotive services. With its global expertise and network of experts, TUV SUD acts as a bridge to help local enterprises overcome technical barriers in promoting their products in the global market.
Over the last 25 years, TUV SUD has actively supported the development of the local testing and product certification industry in addition to its focus on services supporting the domestic export industry. With improved market maturity, the market itself is increasingly playing a more dominant role in the distribution of resources while the role of the government is also undergoing a major transformation. In the future, it is expected that third-party testing and certification bodies will be able to complement and coordinate with the government in terms of market supervision and quality control to promote overall awareness of quality.
In accordance with the company's development needs, TUV SUD Beijing Branch relocated to a more spacious and comfortable environment at M Building, No.7 Wangjing Ring Road, Chaoyang District,Beijing, P.R.
