Located in the core area of Shekou Commercial Circle, Nanshan District, Shenzhen, Water Bay 1979 is an internationally renowned art and cultural complex. In this issue, Kinghelm visits the Shenzhen Free Trade Center (Water Bay 1979) to interview Jiang Xiaozhou, Deputy General Manager of Transfer Multisort Elektronik (TME) China, a leading European distributor of electronic components. We explore how this global multinational corporation empowers China and connects the world!

Jiang Xiaozhou’s journey with TME began in 2018. Due to fluctuations in the capacitor and resistor supply chain, an increasing number of Chinese clients turned to TME’s website for procurement. TME established its China subsidiary in Shenzhen in 2017, which officially commenced operations in 2018, primarily providing sales support and services to Chinese customers. Reflecting on the past eight years, she mentioned that both she and the company had been "feeling their way forward" in the Chinese market. With TME’s continued expansion in China, the subsidiary’s team has now grown to 11 members. When asked how these 11 individuals effectively serve the Chinese market, Jiang Xiaozhou explained: "Every member of TME China is a pioneer in market development. The Poland headquarters ensures operational and logistical support, including warehousing, procurement, factory production, and event coordination. Under the leadership of General Manager Anna, we have made significant progress in enhancing customer loyalty and brand influence. Notably, Anna, the only expatriate in TME China, has contributed immensely to the company’s market expansion. Having studied, lived, and worked in China for many years, she not only speaks fluent Mandarin but also deeply understands Chinese culture, which fosters seamless communication with local employees and clients."

TME emphasizes collaboration. When discussing key partners in the electronics industry, Jiang Xiaozhou mentioned: "Mr. Song Shiqiang, General Manager of Kinghelm (www.kinghelm.net) and Slkor (www.slkoric.com), is a respected veteran in the semiconductor field. I met him at an event in Huaqiangbei and later deepened our connection through the ‘Sichuan-Chongqing Semiconductor Association Annual Meeting’ and the ‘TME 2024 Optimization and Innovation Symposium.’ These events showcased the warmth, optimism, and camaraderie of people from Sichuan and Chongqing, leaving a profound impression on me."

Multiculturalism and inclusivity drive TME’s global reach. When asked about future plans, Jiang Xiaozhou highlighted that TME’s modern logistics center in Poland dispatches over 5,000 packages daily to 150+ countries. This year, TME China plans to establish a local warehouse, adopting a "global vision with localized operations" to better serve Chinese industrial clients and create greater value.
