“Open House of German Business” in Qingdao
The German ties of the Chinese metropolis of Qingdao date back to the end of the 19th century. Back then, the city was part of the German Reich’s colonial territory. No wonder then that this metropolitan region has attracted a host of German businesses to set up shop and managed to offer these businesses conditions that have allowed them to flourish for many years now.
To further promote the exchange between German companies and the Chinese economy, the region’s officials hold regular events that give the companies based in the area an opportunity to present themselves to the public and potential new customers. Klingspor Qingdao was one of 35 companies who took part in this event.
German Ambassador Dr. Clemens von Goetze lauds Sino-German business relations
Germany’s Ambassador to China, Dr. Clemens von Goetze, was among those who seized the opportunity to highlight and praise the good and successful cooperation between the City of Qingdao and the companies. In this speech, he put particular emphasis on the longevity of the business relations as it attests to the trusts the partners place in each other. Operating in Qingdao with a branch of their own since August of 2005, Klingspor has been using the region as a base for supplying the global market with high-quality abrasives.
Before the successful day drew to a conclusion, Dr. Clemens von Goetze made a point of signing Klingspor’s company chronicles, which were released in celebration of the company’s 125th anniversary.

cutting-off wheels. The film portrays the ups and downs of a relationship that manages to defy all odds.
