Gateway to China

For ambitious, expansion-seeking companies in Europe, access to this vast marketplace is an essential step
to enable them to capitalise on new and emerging opportunities for business growth.

Building on its strong presence in Asia, the CC-Link Partner Association (CLPA) has a pivotal role both to create and to support greater European involvement in expanding Chinese market sectors through a groundbreaking initiative, Gateway to China (G2C).

Supported by key European CC-Link partners - the programme is aimed at helping manufacturing companies to establish a foothold in China and to develop their business interests in the world’s fastest-growing economy.

The programme is designed to make it easier for companies to penetrate the Chinese market and
to strengthen their prospects for growth by taking advantage of CC-Link’s reputation as an established, respected provider of enabling technology for the Chinese manufacturing sector.

Many European companies understand the growing importance of CC-Link open networks as a route to expansion and continuing business development in manufacturing industries.

This pioneering open network is recognised as a
de-facto standard by the automotive and flat panel display industries, by manufacturers considering business opportunities in the region and by a Chinese government which is favourable to the use of this technology.

CC-Link is a de-facto standard in the flat-panel display and automotive industries.

G2C is a compelling programme available from the
CLPA and is supported by leading industrial companies throughout Europe to make it easier for manufacturing automation suppliers to penetrate and access the market’s full potential.

Their prospects of success will arguably be considerably greater if they develop and promote verified CC-Link enabled products which are accepted in targeted industries, rather than attempting to introduce a less familiar and unsupported protocol.

A comprehensive package of product development and marketing benefits is available as the CLPA uses its influence in the region to promote and assist greater European commercial involvement in key Chinese industrial locations.
