We were trailblazers in this country, where we arrived in 1983 with a turn-key system for Bengbu Filter, followed by another seven throughout China, going on to found our first Wholly Foreign Owned Enterprise (WFOE) in 1996: SOFIMA AUTOMOTIVE FILTER SHANGHAI. Since then we\u2019ve played a leading role in the area, representing a major business in filtration and thermal management systems for Original Equipment in the local and international market. Our Group has 2,200 employees in China today, spread throughout the five industrial sites, four in Shanghai and one in Changchun, which will be joined by a sixth in Chongqing in the first quarter of 2019. As a tech Company specialising in innovation, a Research and Development centre in Shanghai was a must. This has been operating for nearly 20 years, joining the two in Italy and India respectively.<\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]<div class=\"img_carousel_holder \">\t<div class=\"img_carousel mfp_gallery\" id=\"img_carousel_6854\" style=\"opacity:0;\"><div class=\"img_carousel_item boc_owl_lazy\">\t<div class=\"pic \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ufifiltersgroup.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Giorgio_Girondi_Chairman_of_the_UFI_Filters_Group_receive_the_\u201cVia_della_Seta\u201d_award_.jpg\" class=\"mfp_popup_gal\"  target=\"_self\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ufifiltersgroup.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Giorgio_Girondi_Chairman_of_the_UFI_Filters_Group_receive_the_\u201cVia_della_Seta\u201d_award_-600x380.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div><div class=\"img_carousel_item boc_owl_lazy\">\t<div class=\"pic \">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ufifiltersgroup.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Giorgio_Girondi_Chairman_of_the_UFI_Filters_Group_receive_the_\u201cVia_della_Seta\u201d_award.jpg\" class=\"mfp_popup_gal\"  target=\"_self\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ufifiltersgroup.cn\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/12\/Giorgio_Girondi_Chairman_of_the_UFI_Filters_Group_receive_the_\u201cVia_della_Seta\u201d_award-600x380.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t <\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Image Slider -->\n\t\t\t\t\t<script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\tjQuery(document).ready(function($) {\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tvar carousel = jQuery(\"#img_carousel_6854\");\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tvar args = {\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\titems: \t\t\t\t2,\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tslideBy: \t\t\t1,\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tautoplay:\t\t\ttrue,\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tautoplayTimeout:\t6000,\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tnav: \t\t\t\ttrue,\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tdots: \t\t\t\tfalse,\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tloop: \t\t\t\ttrue,\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tsmartSpeed:\t\t\t250,\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tnavText:\t\t\t[\"<span class='icon icon-arrow-left7'><\/span>\",\"<span class='icon icon-arrow-right7'><\/span>\"],\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tnavRewind: \t\t\tfalse,\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\trtl : \t\t\t\tfalse,\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tmargin: \t\t\t25,\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tresponsive:{\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t0:{\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  items:1,\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t},\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t480:{\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  items:1,\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  margin:20,\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t},\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t769:{\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t  items:2\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t},\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tonInitialized: showCarousel_6854\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t};\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tcarousel.owlCarousel(args);\n\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tvar initital_width = carousel.css(\"width\");\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\/* Refresh it for full width rows *\/\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t$(window).load(function(){\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tif(carousel.css(\"width\") != initital_width) {\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tcarousel.trigger(\"destroy.owl.carousel\").removeClass(\"owl-carousel owl-loaded\");\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tcarousel.find(\".owl-stage-outer\").children().unwrap();\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tcarousel.owlCarousel(args);\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t});\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\/* Show once loaded *\/\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\tfunction showCarousel_6854() {\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tcarousel.fadeTo(0,1);\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t$(\"#img_carousel_6854 .owl-item .boc_owl_lazy\").css(\"opacity\",\"1\");\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t\t\t\t});\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/script>\n\t\t\t\t\t<!-- Image Slider :: END -->[\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text] A recognition of growth and development over the years in the Chinese market.
