CL 20th Anniversary Celebration

2022 marks China Link’s 20th Anniversary. This milestone was celebrated with a 4- hour zoom call, attended by 38 colleagues across 8 countries. The theme of gratitude dominated the event. Gratitude for the past 20 years’ achievements, experiences, and memories. Moving speeches by colleagues and equally touching video messages from suppliers, clients and service providers harnessed the family spirit of China Link and enthused the team with positivity and determination for the next 20 years.

Tanzania Build Expo

Over the past decade, Africa has witnessed remarkable growth that is ongoing today with real GDP growth ranging between 4.1% to 6.9% during the last 4 turbulent years. With exports to South Africa already in place since 2017, China Link launched its presence in the East African countries by participating in the Tanzania Buildexpo event in March 2022. New/potential clients were secured in Tanzania and Kenya through which, initial orders for SPC flooring and WPC decking have already been delivered to a project in Cote d’Ivoire.

Markets

Aside from our advances in the African continent, during 2022 China Link also onboarded reputable clients from Austria, Germany, and Italy for engineered wood flooring products. Despite pandemic related business challenges and subsequent ocean freight and raw material price hikes, China Link achieved double digit growth during 2021 and is set to repeat the same in 2022.

Looking ahead into 2023, falling product prices and lower ocean freight rates are welcomed news that should counter looming challenges from tough global macro-economic conditions, geopolitical tensions, and currency fluctuations. Thanks to a loyal team, stable suppliers and resilient clients, China Link is poised to safely sail through these challenges, just as it did during the 2008 recession and its aftermath.

Sourcing

Whilst China still retains its manufacturing powerhouse title, other Southeast Asian countries are growing their manufacturing capabilities and emerging as alternative, and in some cases, more competitive sources. Since 2019, China Link has been sourcing engineered wood flooring and LVT/SPC flooring from factories in Vietnam, South Korea, and Taiwan.

These new factories complement China Link’s existing China-based flooring products and accessories data base and provide a more comprehensive offering for our clients worldwide.
