Nortel, which currently operates three manufacturing and service joint ventures and two research and development centers in Beijing and Guangzhou, is now opening The Shanghai Supply Center. Its creation is intended to reduce costs and maximize quality across its global and regional suppliers.
Robert Mao, president and CEO, greater China, Nortel, says, "The launch of the Shanghai Supply Chain Center not only enables us to work more efficiently with our suppliers in the region and identify new sources of supply, but also to create closer synergy with our R&D initiatives in China and to elevate our customer responsiveness to a new level."
Other centers are planned in India, North America, Eastern Europe and Mexico in 2005.
