A Grand Gathering, A New Beginning

Currently, the global automotive industry is undergoing a transformation towards electrification and intelligentization. The Chinese automotive industry has moved from "product export" to a new stage of "brand and ecosystem export."

To showcase the achievements of the Chinese automotive industry in its global expansion and to recognize leading figures who have overcome obstacles and set benchmarks in a complex international environment, the "Breaking Boundaries, Coexisting – China Automotive Industry Chain Global Expansion Conference and Global Expansion Ranking Release Ceremony" was grandly opened on January 16th in the Lingang New Area of Shanghai. More than 400 guests from government departments, OEMs, parts manufacturers, research institutions, and industry associations gathered to explore how the Chinese automotive industry chain can collaboratively expand overseas and build a resilient and win-win global ecosystem.

KUS was invited to attend this prestigious event, a gathering that combines industry leadership, industrial depth, and contemporary relevance. Leveraging its high-quality customer base, robust overseas expansion capabilities, and outstanding globalization achievements, KUS successfully made it into the highly anticipated 3rd "Top 100 Chinese Automotive Companies Going Global" list. Furthermore, Mr. Gu Yixin, Chairman of KUS Group, was awarded the prestigious "Outstanding Figure in Global Expansion" award for his forward-thinking strategic planning and exemplary leadership in the automotive industry's global expansion.

Double Honors

Outstanding figures in China's automotive industry chain going global are primarily leaders with a global vision, driving brand internationalization and global supply chain deployment. They represent the core force driving OEMs and key supply chain companies' expansion into the global market. As the leader of the company's development for over 20 years, Mr. Gu Yixin, Chairman of KUS Group, has led us in pioneering new territories and achieving remarkable success in global expansion.

The "Top 100" list is not simply a ranking by size, but a comprehensive evaluation system based on four dimensions: depth of global expansion, localization capabilities, technological sophistication, and sustainable development. Its core value lies in providing crucial decision-making references for different participants, aiming to set industry benchmarks and demonstrate the global competitiveness of China's supply chain.

Winning two authoritative industry awards demonstrates KUS's core strength and benchmark status in the automotive industry chain's overseas expansion. This also serves as a powerful driving force for KUS to continuously empower the high-quality development of China's automotive industry overseas with a high-dimensional global vision, in-depth localized operations, and breakthroughs in core technological innovation, contributing more to the globalization of "Made in China 2025".

Deep Industry Transformation

Against the backdrop of the global automotive industry's accelerated transformation towards electrification and intelligence, and the profound changes brought about by geopolitical shifts and supply chain restructuring, the globalization journey of China's automotive industry has evolved from a "development option" to a "strategic necessity," with overseas expansion exhibiting a two-way drive: Chinese automakers are accelerating their global layout, while international brands are leveraging the Chinese supply chain to enhance their competitiveness.

This is not only a test of corporate vision and resilience but also a call to the wisdom and courage of leaders. More and more domestic and foreign automakers are beginning to pay attention to the overseas production layout of Chinese auto parts companies. Remarkable Success in Overseas Expansion

To seize opportunities in the global automotive market, under Mr. Gu's leadership, KUS, while consolidating its domestic market share and supply position, implemented a globalization strategy early on. It has established production bases or subsidiaries in the United States, Mexico, the Netherlands, India, and Thailand, achieving rapid growth and becoming a global supplier of automotive parts and assemblies.

Currently, KUS's customer network covers major global commercial vehicle OEMs, engine system suppliers, off-road mobile machinery companies, and shipbuilding companies, and it has obtained Tier 1 supplier qualifications from over 100 OEMs worldwide.

Based on its group-based business strategy, KUS leverages its subsidiaries in different regions globally to continuously strengthen its advantages in rapid global customer response and localized customer services, fully unleashing the deep potential of its global development.

This has laid a solid foundation for KUS's overseas market expansion in its core new energy and energy storage businesses, helping it accelerate its global rollout and growth.

Moving Forward with Honors

Looking to the future, we firmly believe that under the leadership of Mr. Gu, with his forward-looking vision, global perspective, and unwavering determination, KUS will continue to deepen its global development blueprint, continuously refine its international strategic layout and localized implementation, and comprehensively enhance its core competitiveness and brand influence in overseas markets through stronger technological capabilities, a more comprehensive global service system, and more efficient supply chain collaboration.

At the same time, KUS will always resonate with the development of China's automotive industry, contributing to its steady and sustainable progress on the global stage and showcasing the core strength of "Made in China" on the world stage through its own solid steps and fruitful results in global development.
