Xerox (China) to Strengthen Operations Following Restructuring

The clerks at Xerox communicate with their boss and customers online. Xerox (China) Co. Ltd. recently attracted industry attention when president Allan Lin told the media that it would transfer its assets to Fuji Xerox Co. Ltd. of Japan,according to the latest issue of Beijing Review.

Lin said the transfer would strengthen the company's operations in China and speed up its development in the Chinese market. After the change in ownership, he added, the company would make use of the financial strength of its new partner to offer more services and products for Chinese customers.

Despite this move, the company still belongs to the Xerox Group and will retain close relations with the American Xerox Co. But, of course, it will strengthen relations with Fuji Xerox. "So Chinese customers will benefit from both the American company and the Japanese company," Lin said.

"Xerox will keep its promise to China," he added. "As the first foreign company to sell copiers in China, Xerox regards the Chinese market as especially important. We have invested large amounts of time, energy and confidence and it��s impossible for us to ignore our Chinese customers or to withdraw from the Chinese market."

At present, negotiations are still going on. Lin predicted that the company's production, sales, service and staff would not change.

"In management, we will reorganize everyone' s duties, " he said. "We will guarantee that employees serve our new partner. We also will try our best to satisfy customers and, in this way, develop our business."
