On June 6, 2013, AGCO GSI Agriculture Equipment Co. Ltd. held an opening ceremony for the new AGCO Part Distribution Center in the Wujin District of Changzhou city, Jiangsu Province. The new facility covers a total area of 63,000 square meters, including a workshop of 21,000 square meters and an independent office building of 960 square meters. It hosts two main factory buildings, one of 12,000 square meters belonging to the protein sector and the one of 9,000 square meters for grain business. The distribution center will be the third largest distribution center of AGCO Group.
"GSI, an international company with an annual sales volume of nearly $1 billion, provides services to various customers throughout grain production, poultry and pig breeding and other industries in the whole world. GSI's new facility is launched in 2013, the 15th year that GSI has entered into the market of China, as an important milestone in the course of its development," said Tom Welke, senior vice president of AGCO Group.
GSI has seen the fastest business growth in China, and the opening of the new facility will contribute the development of GSI. The Changzhou center will not only supply to the Chinese market, but internationally as well. The company has received its first order from Europe.
"China is the critical market for AGCO to expand its business and Changzhou is the core of the group's business here as well as an important base of its global strategy. Now Changzhou has proved qualified to manufacture such advanced agriculture equipments as the AGCO-brand tractor and harvester. In the future, it will even shape the global purchase and production base of AGCO. The opening of the new plant helps AGCO and GSI to localize their production of grain conveying system and poultry and livestock breeding equipments in China, which will effectively help farmers and cooperatives to improve their profitability. In the meantime, the new plant also has set up AGCO parts and service center with a storing capacity of 15,000 pieces in being and 50,000 pieces in future," said Andreas Weishaar, vice president of AGCOGroup and managing director of AGCO China and India.
Weishaar also said that training for service teams and distributors will be regularly carried out in Changzhou to improve quality of its after-sales service. After establishment, AGCO GSI Agriculture Equipment and AGCO Parts Distribution Center will become the spare part warehouse for AGCO China and the whole Asia-Pacific region, providing parts and service to Chinese and global clients.
AGCO will focus on several aspects in China in the next 15 years. Welke said, "The first is that AGCO is hoping to establish itself as one of the most outstanding manufacturer of agriculture equipment with the highest reputation in China; the second, the company is hoping to turn their employees into highly motivated and competent professional and help them continue to improve; the third, while keeping a foothold in the market of China, strive to 'go out.' I'm very confident with the future of AGCO and GSI Agriculture Equipment in the market of China."
