WPIC Opens New Office in Hangzhou

The opening of the Hangzhou office is also an important landmark in the growth of WPIC, as it will mark the company’s fourth site in Mainland China. After opening its first office in Beijing, WPIC expanded to Nanjing over the last three years by opening an e-commerce hub, followed by a state-of-the-art warehousing and logistics facility. The Hangzhou office will accommodate over 100 additional employees that will focus on e-commerce as well as advertising, design, and brand strategy services.

“Those three existing sites split between two cities have been crucial for our organization over the past year, as we’ve on-boarded new clients, grown our end-to-end solution set, and perhaps most importantly weathered the economic effects of the global COVID-19 pandemic,” said Mr. Cooke. “The time has come for our organization to expand even further beyond those three sites, and we felt confident that Hangzhou is the right place for us to invest.”

The opening ceremony featured representatives from the China Council for the Promotion of International Trade (CCPIT) Hangzhou Committee, which welcomed WPIC’s investment that aims to bring over 100 new jobs to the region. Guests from the Canadian Trade Office in Hangzhou, the Canadian Chamber of Commerce in Shanghai (CanCham Shanghai), and employees from WPIC’s Beijing and Nanjing offices were also in attendance.

“Congratulations to WPIC on their Hangzhou office opening, a major milestone in their impressive expansion in operations over the past year,” said Matt Whately, Executive Director of CanCham Shanghai.
