Changzhou is a manufacturing and industrial city in southern Jiangsu Province, positioned between Shanghai and Nanjing within the Yangtze River Delta. The city has a strong focus on advanced manufacturing, particularly in new energy, automotive components, machinery, electronics, and industrial equipment. Changzhou is a nationally important base for new energy and clean technology manufacturing. It is home to Trina Solar, one of the world’s leading solar module producers, and CATL’s major battery manufacturing operations in Liyang (administered by Changzhou), supplying EV batteries to global automotive brands. The city also hosts international manufacturers such as Hitachi Construction Machinery and Bosch Rexroth suppliers, supporting automotive and industrial systems production. In addition to high-tech industries, Changzhou has well-developed clusters in auto parts, motors, cables, metal processing, plastics, and OEM industrial components, with factories experienced in export markets and multinational supply chains. Its proximity to Shanghai Port and regional logistics hubs supports efficient domestic and international distribution. Changzhou is best suited for buyers sourcing new energy products, automotive components, industrial equipment, and higher-spec OEM manufacturing where technology capability and supply-chain integration are key advantages.
