Representative office in China
A permanent presence in China enables companies or entire sectors to achieve strategic advantages for those who are serious about doing business in China and Asia.
A local office in China provides easier access to customers and suppliers, facilitates relationship building, enhances market analysis, and enables participation in key industry events. Given the rapid pace of China’s development and its impact on technologies and markets, including its domestic market, a regional office is becoming not just an option, but often a necessity.
An office in China is more than just growth in the local market – it’s a gateway to all of Asia. Proximity to key markets and operational convenience provide you with an advantage that cannot be achieved while operating from Poland.
Who is this solution suitable for?
For companies with multiple brands in their portfolio.
For groups of companies within a specific sector (e.g., cosmetic companies, agricultural machinery manufacturers).
For groups of companies within a specific distribution segment (e.g., manufacturers of products for the HoReCa or veterinary sector).
Overcome prejudice, unlock synergy!
You’re probably thinking - collaborate with my competitors?!
What?! Establish a representative office jointly with competitors?
Absolutely not! We don’t get along with them! They’d find out about our products!
How can I be sure that it’s my product being promoted? I’ll invest, and they’ll be the ones making the sales.
The truth, however, is different.
If your product stands out, it will achieve higher sales through collaboration than it would through individual promotion.
When it comes to China, remember—it’s not about you; it’s about the Chinese client. Chinese clients would rather meet with one representative handling 30 companies than engage with each company separately.
By working together…
…you can achieve more. It’s easier to fund activities and marketing. It’s also easier to build long-term bilateral relationships.
…you can launch your own showroom or sample warehouse.
…you can set up a small shared goods warehouse, which is especially useful in the initial stages of entering the market.
…you operate collectively, which is very much in line with Chinese culture and highly understandable to the Chinese.

Yes, it is possible to establish an office without owning a company. Salvane offers this service tailored to the needs of a specific organization or sector.
The size of the representative office team directly depends on the tasks to be performed. It is also important to consider the extent to which the companies themselves collaborate with the team in China and how this cooperation aligns with the working rhythm in China. Otherwise, it could become a bottleneck in the process.
