On October 14, Fan Bo, Secretary of the CPC Suzhou Municipal Committee met with Marc Llistosella, CEO of Knorr‑Bremse, and his delegation. Qi Song, Deputy Secretary and Secretary‑General of the CPC Suzhou Municipal Committee attended the meeting.
On behalf of the CPC Suzhou Municipal Committee and the Suzhou Municipal Government, Fan Bo thanked Knorr‑Bremse for its care and support for Suzhou’s development. He noted that as a key central city in eastern China, Suzhou is advancing the building of a national demonstration zone for new‑type industrialization. Stepping up development of its “1030” industrial system, the city is vigorously fostering ten key emerging industries and ten key future industries, bolstering advanced manufacturing, and striving for breakthroughs in developing new‑quality productive forces tailored to local conditions. It aims to build itself into a “Smart Manufacturing City” with global competitiveness.
Fan Bo expressed hope that Knorr‑Bremse will continue to back Suzhou’s growth by launching more R&D and test projects, translating a batch of cutting‑edge technologies into local applications, accelerating the upgrading of its Suzhou production base, and encouraging local supply‑chain players to take part in global industrial collaboration to deliver win‑win results at a higher level. Suzhou will further expand high‑standard opening‑up, improve the full‑life‑cycle service system for foreign‑invested enterprises, advance the special “Three Services” Initiative—serving enterprises, serving projects, and serving industrial parks and grassroots, and foster a business‑environment brand featuring prompt response and closed‑loop handling of all requests, to support enterprises in expanding markets and achieving sound growth.
Marc Llistosella thanked Suzhou for the support extended to Knorr‑Bremse. He said Suzhou boasts robust economic vitality, complete industrial support and a sound business environment, making it a pivotal anchor for Knorr‑Bremse to deepen its strategic footprint in China. The group will scale up investment in R&D and production capacity, deepen cooperation with upstream and downstream partners in Suzhou’s industrial chain, expand collaboration in artificial intelligence and high‑end equipment, and strive to deliver more landmark joint projects.
