During SMM 2026, Tecway (China) Limited sent representatives to Germany for an exchange visit at the invitation of its long-standing partner Dr. E. Horn.
The visit focused on developments in the Chinese market, the practical requirements of customers and Dr. E. Horn's new product development. Through in-depth and pragmatic discussions, the two sides further clarified the direction of future product support and market collaboration.
Representatives of Tecway and Dr. E. Horn
01 Focusing on the Chinese market and relaying customer needs
As Dr. E. Horn's exclusive agent in China, Tecway China closely follows developments in the Chinese market and actively gathers customer feedback on product application, technical support and service response.
During the visit, Tecway's representatives briefed the Dr. E. Horn team on the latest market situation in China and, drawing on customers' real operating requirements, held detailed discussions on issues of shared concern.
Face-to-face dialogue gives the manufacturer a far more direct understanding of how Chinese customers use its products and how their needs are evolving, and lays a more solid foundation for future product support, technical service and market cooperation.
02 Local-market recommendations for new products
With Dr. E. Horn having recently developed a series of new products, a key part of the discussion centred on how these can be better adapted to the Chinese market and to customer requirements.
Drawing on the market experience and field feedback accumulated over many years of serving Chinese customers, the Tecway team offered professional recommendations grounded in real application needs, providing the manufacturer with a reference for further refining its products and improving their fit for the Chinese market.
Genuine feedback from the front line of the market helps bring product development and customer requirements closer together, and allows new technologies and new products to serve Chinese users more effectively.
Starting from market needs, to bring technical solutions closer to Chinese customers.
03 Deepening cooperation and continuing to serve Chinese customers
The visit was both pragmatic and productive. It not only consolidated the foundation of cooperation between Tecway China and Dr. E. Horn, but also gave both sides a clearer, shared direction for market development, customer support and the promotion of new products in China.
Going forward, Tecway China will continue to act as a bridge between Chinese customers and international partners, relaying market requirements and customer feedback in a timely manner and working with Dr. E. Horn to keep products, technology and service closely aligned with the Chinese market, so as to provide customers with more professional and reliable support.
