RECENT DEVELOPMENTS:
Unilever, a leading maker of nutrition, hygiene and personal care products, invested US$21 million into a detergent powder production plant in Zhangjiakou in 1999.
In 2013 a high-level officials of Volvo China and Geely announced that the Geely Company, a Hangzhou-based company which operates and builds vehicle assembly lines, will build an engine plant for Volvo Automobile Car Engines in the city of Zhangjiakou. Information from the Zhangjiakou government revealed that in May 2012 Geely Chairman Li Shufu attended the ground-breaking ceremony for the plant, located in the Zhangjiakou’s Nanshan (I.e. South Mountain) Development Zone. The decision of Geely to build one of their many assembly plants in China in Zhangjiakou is a decision with a major impact on the city of Zhangjiakou and its economy.
Analysts point out two reasons behind Geely’s selection of Zhangjiakou. First, it is close to Beijing, which is a city of 18+ million and a major market for the Volvo end product. In addition its proximity and relatively good connections to the Capital and Tianjin beyond mean that the highly scheduled workers necessary can be found and attracted to work in the plant. Starting in 2014 with the opening of a high-speed train connection between the Capital and Zhangjiakou travel to the capital will be reduced from hours to only 45 minutes. Geely also mentioned the generous subsidies from the local government in the form of cheap land, favorable tax terms, and promise of infrastructure building. According to the project’s bidding announcement, the engine plant will occupy a land of 26.6012 hectares, which can be used for 50 years for a low price of 26 million Yuan.
The Zhangjiakou Geely manufacturing plant is currently expected to open in 2014 and has a planned capacity up to 600,000 Volvo car engines per year. According to Geely, four types different types of engines will be produced. The engines produced in Zhangjiakou will be fitted to Volvo cars made in Chengdu and Daqing and also to some of Geely's own car models.
With the Zhangjiakou and other plants in operation, Volvo China has announced at the 2012 Beijing Autoshow that it seeks to produce and sell 200,000 vehicles a year in China by 2016 and release 10 new models between 2012 and 2018. For Zhangjiakou this development is set to bring in a substantial of new local jobs and will likely bring new skilled workers to the city.
