General Manager of Blickfeld’s Chinese branch is Mike Yang, who over the past twenty years has worked for companies such as General Electric, Osram and Valeo Sylvania in the areas of engineering, marketing and sales as well as country director and CEO. To date, four employees are working for the Munich-based company in China. The team is expected to grow significantly to expand areas such as technical support, service capacity and the sales network in the country’s major cities. General Manager Mike Yang says:

“It is an exciting task to introduce German engineering excellence such as Blickfeld’s lidar sensors to the Chinese market, as they enjoy high trust there. Now, companies in that region can also benefit from Blickfeld’s cutting-edge technology by advancing the digitalization of their processes and making their business models significantly more efficient. My team and I are thrilled by the many opportunities that are already taking shape and look forward to making lidar accessible to every company that can become more profitable through it—and there are countless of them.”

Blickfeld: “Convinced of the potential of the lidar market in China”

Christian Waizenegger, Vice President Industry Sales & Business Development at Blickfeld, says:

“I am convinced of the potential and positive development of the lidar market in China. Even today, Chinese companies show great interest in our high-tech products. I look forward to working with Mike Yang and his fast-growing team of experts to quickly establish our advanced lidar technology in more and more industries.”

Blickfeld’s lidar sensors are used, among other applications, in mining, agriculture and recycling to obtain a precise overview of stored volumes of different materials.
