Välinge Expands China Team, Operations

logo
November 28, 2021

Välinge has expanded its team and operations in China. Stuart Lee joined the team in October as marketing manager. With over 20 years of experience in marketing, Lee has worked for a number of multinational companies including Tiger Beer, Grundfos and 3M China. Eriya Yi joined as marketing assistant in August. Yi graduated in 2021 with a degree in Business English. Vera Yu joined as finance and human resources manager in October.  Yu has over 15 years of experience in finance and HR with multinational trading companies.

Established in China since 2007, Välinge is actively supporting more than 200 licensees in China and in other Asia Pacific countries. Välinge continues to expand and increase the level of service it is able to offer Asian customers.

Välinge Support Center China (VSCC), established in Kunshan in December 2019, is further expanding with additional testing capabilities such as a castor chair test machine as well as a climate chamber. A flooring double-end tenoner will also be installed in early 2022 to support local flooring licensees with even shorter lead times when it comes to testing and fine-tuning locking systems for laminate, wood, resilient and mineral flooring products. The VSCC facilities have been extended to house these additional capabilities. The support center regularly hosts events organized by Välinge with flooring or furniture licensees as well as partners in the industry to discuss and demonstrate some of its latest technologies such as 5G Fold Down, Threespine and Liteback.

Välinge is currently setting up a bonded warehouse in Shanghai for the fast delivery of the 5G bristle tongue inserts from first quarter of 2022 onwards. This will further shorten lead times and reduce costs for licensees in the region, the company said.
