BNL Win New Business in China
February 2011
BNL are pleased to announce winning business with one of China’s leading poultry machinery manufacturers, the first local customer since setting up sales activities in Shanghai, China last year.
BNL already have a number of existing Chinese customers which are subsidiaries or sub-contractors of European, Japanese or USA-based OEMs. However this order is the first that BNL has secured by selling direct to an independent Chinese customer. This is a significant achievement for the newly established BNL China team.
A leading Chinese manufacturer, the company has a reputation for high quality machinery. BNL’s reputation and track record in supplying the world’s leading poultry processing OEMs was important in their decision to do business with BNL.
Faisal Rahmatallah, Executive Chairman of Plastics Capital, BNL’s parent company, commented:
“We are delighted to have won our first local Chinese customer so soon after setting up our sales office in China. The potential for further customer wins is significant and confirms that there is growing demand for quality engineering solutions in China. We look forward to further developing our activities in China over the coming year.”
