The 2017 SKF China Industrial Sales Distributor Development Conference was grandly held on April 20, 2017, at the Dalian New World Hotel. The theme of this conference was “Accelerate Together, Lead the Revival, and Win the Future.” At this distributor conference, Foshan Zhengda Mechanical & Electrical Bearing Co., Ltd. received two honors: the “SKF China Ten-Year Long-Term Cooperation Award” and the “2017 Industrial Market Best Customer Service Award.”
Skf’s Global CEO Alrik Danielson and Skf Group China President Patrick Tong delivered keynote speeches respectively.
In his speech, Deng Lixin (Alrik Danielson) outlined the group’s mission to become the undisputed leader in the bearing industry, as well as five key strategic priorities: winning customers, application-driven innovation, world-class manufacturing capabilities, cost competitiveness, and maintaining cash flow.
In his speech, Patrick Tong elaborated on SKF’s organizational restructuring, the integration and optimization of market channels, as well as the new opportunities that have emerged and the numerous challenges that have been overcome. As SKF China moves forward, it needs to be both wise and decisive, better integrating its business around the value chain. It must also become more agile and responsive, with greater cost competitiveness, so as to better create value for its customers. Relevant heads from SKF China’s various units provided detailed introductions on dealer management policies, the Renaissance Project, SKF’s application engineering capabilities, and the e-commerce platform.
Through the three-day meeting, we gained a deep understanding of SKF’s series of adjustments based on big data and the economic situation. These adjustments will help us achieve the company’s goals set at the beginning of the year: “enhancing service capabilities, innovating profit models, and boosting profitability.” Let’s take action, work together in unity, and accelerate our progress!
