Simon-Kucher opens new office in Shanghai

20-Jul-2018

The global strategy and marketing consultancy increases its presence in China with a third location to join Beijing and Hong Kong.

The global strategy and marketing consultancy Simon-Kucher & Partners continues its expansion in the Chinese market with the opening of a new office in Shanghai at the beginning of July. Simon-Kucher has been present in China for several years. In 2010, it opened its office in Beijing, followed by Hong Kong in 2017.

“China is one of our key markets,” said Dr. Georg Tacke, CEO of Simon-Kucher & Partners. “We’ve implemented a number of projects in the greater Shanghai area in recent years. Opening another office in this global financial centre and major economic hub is the next logical step. At this location, we’ll be better able to serve our clients on site and successfully expand our business activities in China.” The Shanghai office will focus on mobility services and the automotive, consumer goods, production, and technology industries.

“It’s been an exciting year for Simon-Kucher so far. We’ve opened offices in Chicago, Cairo and Shanghai, and have plans to open in Mexico too” said Mark Billige, Board Member and Managing Partner UK. “These markets provide great opportunities, and our presence means we can continue to offer our clients both the global and local support they require”.

The Shanghai office will be headed by Jan Yang and Shengyun Lu, both Directors at Simon-Kucher. As native Shanghai residents with many years of consulting experience, they’re not only familiar with the Chinese market, they also have a valuable regional network.
