China's Hisense begins export to Britain from its South Africa industrial park

Hisense's industrial park in South Africa is becoming a global manufacturing base, as its first shipment of refrigerators exported to Europe early this month. Chinese home appliances giant Hisense's industrial park in South Africa recently dispatched a shipment of refrigerators to the United Kingdom, and are expected to meet British consumers soon. The deal also marks that Hisense's industrial park in South Africa is becoming a global manufacturing base and that its global industrial chain management efficiency has further improved, offsetting the negative impacts of uncertainties brought by the COVID-19 pandemic, said company executives. The company's contributions to the improvement of local manufacturing capacity, social and economic development, livelihoods of local residents and social stability in South Africa have been highly recognized by the United Nations Office for South-South Cooperation, as the industrial park project was used as a case in a 2020 report by UNOSSC on promoting sustainable development of Africa through South-South investment.
