On the occasion of the 20th anniversary of Weiss-Voetsch Environmental Testing Instruments (WVC) in Taicang, representatives of the Schunk Group, political representatives, long-standing business partners and numerous employees gathered for a celebratory anniversary event.
A location with potential and history
WVC was founded in Taicang in 2004 to meet the growing importance of the Chinese market for the Schunk Group. With the decision for Taicang, the Schunk Group laid the foundation for a success story that has been shaped over the last 20 years by strong partnerships, local support and dedicated employees. The conditions in Taicang and the good cooperation with the local authorities have enabled Weiss-Voetsch to develop and expand continuously.
Achieving more together
The “One Firm” philosophy is actively practiced in Taicang. For example, WVC successfully supported Schunk Sonosystems in entering the market and setting up its own company for China. A model that is now also being pursued for OptoTech.
Innovation as a growth engine
One key to the long-term success of WVC and the Schunk Group in China is the company's continuous innovative strength. This has been proven time and again by the development of new products for the Chinese market, including the “Mega Shock,” which took second place in the Global Weiss Innovation Contest. Innovations like these are a testament to the high level of expertise of the team, which is always striving to meet the needs of customers and actively shape the market.
A look into the future: the new site in Taicang
The anniversary day offered not only the opportunity to look back on the past two decades, but also to take a look at the future of WVC. In the near future, the company will move into a new building in Taicang that offers space for further growth and new innovations. The new location shows how the city of Taicang is changing and moving into the future, and the same applies to WVC.
The company continues to work closely with its customers and partners and hopes to successfully continue the trusting partnership of the last two decades.
