Gothia Logistics AB

Industry|Education

Gothia Logistics AB is a Swedish company that develops online training programmes in logistics, lean production and purchasing in order to help clients increase efficiency and improve productivity. Active in China since 2003, the company has been offering online training courses in both English and Chinese for employees in factories around the Yangtze River Delta region.

With the help of the Centre’s business development team, Gothia Logistics found a list of companies to participate in a research project on the difference in continued education between companies with various cultural backgrounds.

The Centre’s webinar on “How can foreigners establish an office in China?” helped the company acquire essential information on setting up a legal entity in China. Gothia Logistics also received comprehensive advice on employment arrangement forms available for wholly foreign-owned enterprises (WFOEs) in China.

We used a great deal of services from the EU SME Centre’s website, especially the online enquiry service which allowed us to ask more specific questions on HR & legal issues. In addition, the Centre’s webinars are good sources of more resources. The EU SME Centre has been a great support for us when setting up our business in China.
