APAC Innovation Days: Strengthening expertise and collaboration in China

On March 17^th and 18^th, in 2026, Verlinde welcomed its Asia-Pacific partners to Jiangsu, China, for two enriching days of learning and collaboration. Through dedicated training sessions, technical exchanges, and meaningful discussions, the APAC Innovation Days created a valuable space for sharing expertise and strengthening regional partnerships.

The APAC region continues to grow thanks to the commitment and contribution of our partners, and we want to support this development by providing them with the best possible assistance. APAC Innovation Days offered an important opportunity to share knowledge about our products and tools, particularly the new Eurobloc VF hoist, while gaining a better understanding of the specific needs and constraints of each local market. These discussions will help us refine our commercial approach, provide more relevant support, and strengthen the long-term relationships that are central to the way we do business.

The agenda began with a presentation of the new Eurobloc VF hoist, giving all participants an introduction to its latest features and its synthetic rope technology. The programme then continued through dedicated commercial and technical sessions tailored to the participants’ areas of expertise. Sales and management teams explored Verlinde’s explosion-proof product portfolio, ExpertCrane, and open winch solutions, including PDW and UM. Interactive workshops also introduced the latest digital sales tools and in parallel, technical teams took part in practical training covering the MT range, as well as CAN bus technology, and ExpertCare. A factory tour provided an additional opportunity to connect the training topics with Verlinde’s industrial expertise.

Following two inspiring days of learning, collaboration, a factory tour, and meaningful discussions with our partners, the APAC Innovation Days seminar has officially come to an end. The event fostered knowledge sharing, strengthened connections, and highlighted the power of collaboration in driving innovation across the region.

A huge thank you to all participants, as well as Verlinsde trainers and team members whose contributions made this event a success.
