“With the growth of the China market, the Greater China Business Council of New England is a valuable resource to stay up-to-date on the rapidly changing China business climate. The Council provides the opportunity to meet and learn best practices from member companies and the opportunity to discuss policy issues and the impact on business.”

Joseph Preston, VP International
New Balance Athletic Shoe, Inc.

“As a Fortune 500 company, Leggett & Platt went to China to grow our business in China, not to take advantage of low-cost labor for re-export.  After ten years of growth through green-fielding and acquisitions, China is rapidly becoming the focus of our worldwide growth.  The Greater China Business Council of New England provides a platform for sharing information and resources with other organizations that have ongoing operations in China as well as companies looking to get in for the first time.”

John Ding, President, Asia Pacific Division
Leggett & Platt

“China has become Spalding’s most important and largest market outside the U.S.  With such importance, the Greater China Business Council of New England gives us a forum to associate with other companies that have interest or already have operations in China.  On the practical side, it provides us with the service and knowledge of other New England companies’ “know how” in an ever-changing China.”
