Arch came to China in 1998. We have offices in Suzhou and Shanghai. Arch has seen continual growth in the Chinese marketplace every year, and more importantly, we bring business to China via a global sourcing program. China is one of our most important sourcing countries. We bring new technologies and business opportunities to China, and hope we can continue to contribute to the Chinese economy in a positive way.
