As an "ever-present participant" that has attended all eight editions of the China International Import Expo (CIIE), ABB Robotics returned this year showcasing multiple new products developed locally. The CIIE has become a crucial bridge for the company to connect with the Chinese market.

In an exclusive interview with Southern Finance, Henry Han, Group Senior Vice President and President of ABB Robotics Division in China，stated, "The CIIE is the most anticipated grand event for us every year." 

Having deeply rooted itself in China for over three decades, ABB Robotics is further strengthening its comprehensive local value chain layout. Han pointed out that China's robotics industry has formed a "coopetitive and symbiotic" ecosystem, where domestic and international manufacturers drive industry progress through intense competition. He particularly emphasized the localization strategy, with the Shanghai Pudong super factory as the innovation core, coupled with increased R&D investment in Zhuhai, to deeply integrate into the two major intelligent manufacturing industry clusters of the Yangtze River Delta and the Pearl River Delta.

Looking ahead to the 15th Five-Year Plan period, Han Chen believes ABB Robotics has "great potential" for development in China.
