As part of a strategy to expand its global reach, Bishop-Wisecarver Corp. (Pittsburg, CA) has opened an office in Shanghai. The new branch is a key point for giving customers in the region local services and inventory, reduced shipping costs, and faster shipping services.

The company has important business relationships with distributors in China. It says that having local sales support and technical capabilities will also improve customer service, communication, and sales cycles.

“The China market is key to our global strategy,” says Ray Harrington, vice president of business development. “We see abundant opportunity to advance Bishop-Wisecarver's presence in Asia, and the opening of the Shanghai office reinforces our commitment to current and potential partners and customers in the region.”

Jennifer Ye is heading the new branch. Ye has experience with industrial products in the areas of import, export, and domestic sales. She also has provided customer and sales support to the company's client base in China.

Bishop-Wisecarver makes guided motion components and systems for linear, rotary, and curved-track applications. Located in the San Francisco Bay area, the company is known as the manufacturer of the original DualVee bearing guide wheel.
