Taicang
Taicang
Known as the "Sino-German" industrial center, Taicang hosts a massive cluster of German-owned precision machinery and auto parts suppliers. Taicang is a manufacturing and export hub in Jiangsu Province, located directly north of Shanghai and deeply integrated into the Yangtze River Delta supply chain. The city is best known for high-precision manufacturing, automotive components, industrial machinery, metal processing, and advanced equipment production. Taicang has one of the highest concentrations of German and European manufacturers in China, often referred to as “Germany Town.” Major international companies with operations in Taicang include Bosch, Siemens, Continental, Schaeffler, and Krones, alongside a wide network of Tier-1 and Tier-2 suppliers serving Shanghai-based multinationals and global OEMs. The city is also active in packaging, plastics, electronics sub-assemblies, and OEM manufacturing, with factories experienced in export compliance and international quality standards. Taicang Port, one of China’s busiest inland ports, provides fast access to Shanghai’s deep-water ports, making the city a cost-efficient alternative to manufacturing directly in Shanghai. Taicang is best suited for buyers seeking reliable, export-ready suppliers, tight production tolerances, and long-term manufacturing partnerships rather than ultra-low-cost production.
