Inther Group from Venray, Netherlands, is further expanding its presence in China to serve the global demand for innovative warehouse automation faster and more efficiently. “China plays a key role in our company’s future strategy,” emphasize CEOs Martijn Herder and Paul Hermsen.
The company has offices in Shanghai (sales & service) and Suzhou (engineering & production). “We can operate closer to customers and achieve significantly shorter lead times,” say the CEOs. The collaboration with Chinese partner Yugasum for local production of transport and sorting systems also contributes to more flexibility and a more resilient supply chain.
According to the CEOs, China is above all an important source of innovation. The rapidly evolving e-commerce market serves as a laboratory for new intralogistics solutions, the insights of which are applied worldwide. Thanks to uniform standards and testing protocols, systems from China remain fully compatible with those from Europe.
