Visiting suppliers is always a mind opening experience. Working together on our future products, making them better and progessing faster than ever possible from Germany makes those trips always worth it. After 1500 kilometers by train and many more by plane, my colleagues and I arrived at our LEDVANCE R&D-center in Shenzhen. Not only Typhoon season made it unforgettable but also reconnecting with my team members and also getting to know some new colleagues. Finally we had a chance to visit the huge Guangzhou lighting fair and have a few cups of tasty coffee on our LEDVANCE booth.
