Sanhua proudly selected Houston as the location for its North American Technology Center. “Houston was chosen following an exhaustive search of possible U.S. locations,” said CY Zheng, President, Sanhua North America. “We based this decision on the hospitality of the state and local government, the availability of a large pool of skilled local talent to fill our specialized staffing needs and the great transportation network here including the world-class international airport,” added Zheng.

Houston is in the final list of cities being considered for the headquarters.

“Houston is a sought-after location for global firms seeking a location to establish their Americas headquarters,” said Horacio Licon, Vice President of International Investment and Trade for the Greater Houston Partnership. In 2017 alone, 41 foreign-owned firms opened or expanded operations in Houston, up from 25 the prior year. “The Partnership welcomes the announcement of the Sanhua Texas Technology Center and thanks the company for their investment in the Houston region.”
