Darbinyan: Open environment and booming development make Shanghai a benchmark

Benefiting from China's reform and opening up, Kunjek has also gained recognition in the international market while entering the Chinese market. In 2005, Kunjek ushered in a brilliant moment: forming an industrial alliance with a top hand tool brand in the world, adding more than 3,000 products in 6 categories. He introduced that the company’s products are now exported to the Americas, Europe, Southeast Asia and other countries and regions. Without China's reform and opening up, all this would not have been possible.

Innovation injects new vitality

Today, Shanghai is making every effort to build the “four brands”. The development of the hardware and tools industry is a key part of “Made in Shanghai”, one of the four brands.

In terms of the innovation of “Made in Shanghai”, Darbinyan frankly expressed his concern. In his words,“in old days, there was interest to the world but there was no mean to satisfy that interest, that means there were no modern designs, no modern projects but there was very big willing to do it. Many years passed on, the situation changed in the direction that the companies become very powerful, they got the means to produce the products. But for the same time I notice some tendency of losing the interest against the new products. Because they got the markets and the chance to sell those products, now they are satisfied, they are not so interest in the new items.”
