Bock Anniversary in China

The company Bock Compressors (Hangzhou) Co., Ltd. was founded five years ago in Hangzhou, China. The vehicle compressors FK40 and FK50 are assembled here for the Chinese market. Bock’s recipe for success is based on high quality consciousness, technical innovation and short decision paths.

The family-owned specialist for compressors for bus air conditioning and transport refrigeration was founded more than 75 years ago and has already successfully established itself more than twenty years ago with sales partners in the Chinese market. The company opened its own sales office in Shanghai in 2004 and started its own production the following year in Hangzhou in China.

25 Bock employees are currently working on the success of the company on the approx. 1,000 m² area. "Since the foundation, we were able to increase the market share from 8% to 25%", proudly reports Klaus Öchsner, President of Bock Compressors, Hangzhou. "Bock also stands for quality – which is continually receiving more emphasis – for customer satisfaction and personal customer relationships in China".

The focus of the celebration has been placed on the customers in the festive ceremony of the anniversary.  16 companies have been distinguished for particular commitment and successful collaboration.  A total of one hundred guests from all over China attended this ceremony. Political representatives were also present.

"Some customers used the opportunity to visit the Expo in Shanghai afterwards which was opened shortly after the anniversary celebration". says Öchsner. "We received the order to equip 3,000 buses with Bock vehicle compressors for the world exhibition which started on May 1 under the motto "Better City, Better Life".

“Bock Hangzhou also received a large order for 400 compressors for the forthcoming Asia Games in Guangzhou".

"We were also able to overcome the world economic crisis due to our commitment in China", stresses Klaus Öchsner, "during these difficult times, the sales could not only be maintained but increased. This confirms how correct and important the founding of the subsidiary company in China was. Our stable and good customer satisfaction continues to take first priority for the future and we will further expand our share in the Chinese bus air conditioning market".
