The Benelux Chamber of Commerce, in collaboration with Bekaert, is pleased to invite you to an exclusive company visit to Bekaert's Jiangyin site, on September 17, 2025. This visit will be led by H.E. Mr. Pascal Buffin, Consul General at the Consulate General of the Kingdom of Belgium in Shanghai.
The day begins with a brunch at the Belgian House, offering participants the opportunity to network with fellow members and industry peers. Following the brunch, we will take the train to Jiangyin. Please note: participants are responsible for purchasing their own train tickets (see suggested train information below).
During the visit, participants will have the opportunity to learn more about Bekaert's production site, including BARDEC (R/D Center + product showroom), BTEC (Equipment Engineering Center) and a factory located in the Jiangyin Economic Development Zone.
The Jiangyin site focuses on the development and assembly of energy-efficient, high-performance equipment for Bekaert's global plants. Additionally, it is a hub for total plant layout design, and it leads the implementation of spare parts and maintenance management systems in the region.
