The Honeywell booth explained how to integrate the latest smart technology into all aspects of urban sustainable development, economic production and modern life, and visitors can also experience a more comfortable, greener and safer smart life and environment through various interactive simulation experiences. This is also an important example of Honeywell's active implementation of the global localization growth strategy of "East Serves the World", relying on Xinjiang to expand the market in central and western China and Central Asia.
Mr. William Sheng, President and CEO of Honeywell China, said: "Honeywell is actively expanding into the Midwest market and second, third and fourth tier cities. Xinjiang has an irreplaceable role and position in the construction of the 'Silk Road Economic Belt', and is also an important platform for us to practice the strategy of 'East Serving the World', and the future development prospects are very broad." We look forward to highlighting the innovative applications and achievements of Honeywell's advanced automation control technology in numerous fields through this expo." In the future, we will continue to take root in Xinjiang, strengthen cooperation with outstanding local enterprises, and build a safer, more comfortable, more energy-saving, more innovative and productive environment for Xinjiang and its surrounding areas through innovative technology, and create new glory on the Silk Road. ”
Honeywell has always attached great importance to its development in Xinjiang and regards Xinjiang as a strategic base for the company to explore the markets of Midwest China and Central Asia. Since the establishment of an office in Urumqi, Xinjiang in April 2011, Honeywell has participated in the China-Eurasia Expo every year, actively playing the role of Xinjiang's opening up to the west as a bridgehead to serve neighboring Central Asian countries. At present, Honeywell's security group has provided its leading anti-theft, access control, alarm and video surveillance comprehensive solutions for important transportation hubs and industrial security fields such as Xinjiang Urumqi Airport, Aksu Airport, Bole Airport, Kuqa Airport, Shenhua Xinjiang Coal Chemical Industry, and Urumqi Traffic Police Detachment Road Monitoring, meeting the special security needs of important local transportation hubs and strategic industries. Honeywell Life Safety Group's fire alarm and gas monitoring and detection technology has also been applied in Xinjiang Tianye Power Plant and West-East Gas Transmission Phase II natural gas pipeline item, Xinjiang Urumqi Airport, Xinjiang Manas Power Plant, Xinjiang Hongyanchi Power Plant, Xinjiang Tarim Oilfield, Xinjiang Museum and many other items to create a safer and more reliable working environment. Honeywell's Environmental Automation Division continues to help residential, commercial and industrial facilities improve energy efficiency through technology and product innovation, and its industry-leading flame detection system is used in the Dushanzi Petrochemical Refinery in Xinjiang. Honeywell's process control department's automation and safety management technology was successfully applied to the Central Asia Natural Gas Pipeline A and B lines and then selected by the Central Asia Natural Gas Pipeline C to ensure efficient and safe transportation of Central Asian natural gas to China.
From "East serves the East" to "East serves the world"
Since 2004, Honeywell has moved its Asia-Pacific headquarters to China and set up a global R&D center in China, gradually transforming the traditional sales model of "from the West to the East" to the localized innovation and growth strategy of "East serves the East". Under this strategic guidance, Honeywell serves the needs of Chinese customers and the local market through a series of locally-based product development and innovation, while at the same time conducting localized design, production and implementation in strict accordance with Honeywell's global standards. In 2013, Honeywell created more than 600 inventions and obtained more than 90 patents in China. At present, nearly 30% of Honeywell's sales revenue in China comes from "Oriental Service to Oriental" products.
Since 2014, Honeywell has further proposed and clarified a new global growth strategy of "East Serves the World", which has been included in the company's global growth plan for the next five years. The new strategic deployment aims to leverage Honeywell's tremendous success in China to further strengthen innovation for the mid-market and actively promote more energy-efficient, environmentally friendly, and cost-effective products and technology solutions developed for the Chinese market to the global market, especially high-growth emerging markets, and promote Honeywell's "Made in China" service to the world.
At present, more than 180 products and solutions of "Oriental Serving the World" piloted by Honeywell cover many fields such as automatic control, energy efficiency, smart buildings, safety and security and occupational safety protection, automotive turbochargers and so on. It is worth mentioning that Honeywell's products developed and produced for the Chinese market and produced in China, such as public address and fire broadcasting system, whole-house water purification and filtration system, and fully digital video intercom, have been applied in many countries and regions and have been widely praised. At the same time, Honeywell's scanners, video and home security systems developed and manufactured in China are also being continuously exported to Turkey, promoting the upgrading and rapid development of its key industries. Central Asian countries are currently experiencing rapid urbanization and economic transformation, while local people's living standards are improving. With the deepening of China's economic and trade cooperation with Central Asia and the construction of the "Silk Road Economic Belt", Honeywell will take advantage of the geographical advantages of Xinjiang and Central Asia to further strengthen its local sales strength and bring more "Made in China" products with excellent quality and reasonable prices to Central Asian countries, as well as other high-growth markets such as Russia and Turkey.
