Valve World recently spent two weeks in China, visiting valve manufacturers, traders and end users. As you can read in the October issue of Valve World, we tried to get a handle on the needs of the domestic Chinese market, to assess the potential of Chinese manufacturers in global markets and to understand what role foreign valve and actuator suppliers can play in China. The October issue will also feature articles on doing business in China and a report on the size and scope of the Chinese valve market. In the meantime, the photographs below should provide a flavour of our visit (click to enlarge photo and reveal accompanying text).
