Tyco Flow Control, the world’s largest valve producer, aims to achieve significant growth in China in the coming years, driven by strong demand from the country’s booming industry says a senior company official.
$quot;Our aim is to continue growing in double digits,$quot; Jan van Ooijen, president of Tyco explains, $quot;We should, at least, grow as fast as or faster than (China’s) GDP growth.$quot; The US valve maker, a division of Fortune 500 company Tyco International, will pursue $quot;a fair mix$quot; of organic growth and acquisitions to drive its business in China, which it identifies as one of its key markets. Ooijen explains further, $quot;We are focusing on four or five emerging markets at present. And China is a crucial piece of our parcel.$quot;
The US-based company has just opened a service centre in Shanghai, its first in China. $quot;This is the first such service centre in China and more are going to come in different areas in the next couple of years,$quot; said James S.
