Mr. Wang Weibo, President of Bühler Greater China, said via remote video:
Background of the project:
Gold Coin entered China’s feed processing industry in 1982, and was the third foreign-funded enterprise landed in China since China's reform and opening-up. Their first company in Shekou, Shenzhen had a 25-ton livestock and poultry feed line which adopted Bühler’s equipment. For decades, the operation of this mill has been in good condition. In the 1990s, Gold Coin’s feed mill in Zhanjiang and Zhangzhou continued to choose Bühler as their partners. In 2009, Gold Coin’s mill in Dongguan became the industry benchmark... As of today, during the establishment of several model projects, the two parties have always respected each other and collaborated with each other despite of the economic ups and downs, always helping each other to grow in China.
