AROUND 30 people from different industries, mostly the manufacturing and service industries, joined a factory tour Thursday organized by the European Chamber to Siemens Shenzhen Magnetic Resonance Ltd. (SSMR), Siemens’ biggest research and manufacturing center outside Siemens Healthineers MR Headquarters in Germany.

“Every one out of three Siemens Healthineers MRI systems has been delivered from SSMR since 2012,” said Pan Huaiyu, general manager of SSMR.

SSMR has sent thousands of MRI systems to over 100 countries around the globe.

According to Pan, Shenzhen’s favorable investment environment for foreigners and enterprises, as well as its adjacent location to Hong Kong, were the main reasons that Siemens Healthineers set up SSMR in Shenzhen in 2002.

“Shenzhen has gathered an abundance of high-tech human resources. And there are plenty of industrial material resources for MRI manufacturing in Guangdong and the nearby areas,” added Pan.
