New Blue Network - China Blue News App, August 13th (reported by Zhejiang TV reporter) 100 kilometers away from Berlin, it is now located in Frankfurt on the Oden River on the eastern border of Germany. Once the most famous photovoltaic company in Europe, it was officially acquired by Chint from the banks of the Oujiang River in Zhejiang Province in 2014. Now, this station also has a new name: Chint.

Walking towards us is Huang Haiyan, the CEO of Chint's German factory, who has been stationed in Germany for almost two years since the merger and integration. As soon as we walked into the enterprise, we were attracted by the 9 quality certification certificates signed in Chinese and German on the wall.

Three years ago, Huang Haiyan led a merger and acquisition team to search for opportunities in Europe. At that time, Germany's veteran photovoltaic company Conergy was on the brink of bankruptcy. Conergy has extended an invitation to Chint to acquire a component factory. After multiple rounds of negotiations, Chint seized this opportunity and effectively avoided double anti trade barriers. However, the test followed, and customers lost confidence in the warranty of Conergy products that had already gone bankrupt. The commitment of Chint, a Chinese company, became particularly crucial.

Chinese managers and German employees have reached a consensus on product quality and the fate of the enterprise. However, they must face a greater integration challenge: how can costs be effectively reduced?

Transfer some product supply chains to Asia and establish assembly bases in Europe. While realizing the internationalization of photovoltaic module production, it is also necessary to make sufficient efforts on intelligent production lines. Entering the workshop, we hardly see the busy workers on the production line, replaced by white robotic arms. These 5 production lines cover processes such as string welding and layout of solar cells.

At present, all five production lines are at full capacity. As 80% of the value of the products comes from domestically exported components, it is equivalent to maintaining exports of 150 million US dollars and creating more than 200 job opportunities for the local area. In the face of good benefits, German employees who were originally skeptical gradually became friends with the Chinese management team brought by Huang Haiyan. The evening breeze was blowing, and on the beach by the Oden River, everyone brought beer and watched the game together.

Chint Avenue, after being named in 2014, became the only road in German history named after a Chinese company. In Oden, a border town with a population of less than 40000, the name Chint is becoming more and more familiar to people. In the process of responding to the "dual development" crisis in the photovoltaic industry, Chinese enterprises are actively embracing the challenges of the international market with a green and open concept, and have embarked on an international path to join hands with world advanced enterprises.
