Joint-Ventures
In this growth strategy abroad are included the direct investments made in high potential development areas. Among them, of particular importance are Kenda Farben China., created in China in 1994, the first joint-ventures with local operators to make adhesives with Italian technologies, in a plant established at Huizhou City, Canton.

The company growth was not planned just on a territory base, but also through diversification in activities complementary to the core one. This choice allows to make the most of the technical skills and the sales knowledge in Italy and abroad, widening the range of products and services provided to the customers and finally sharing out the entrepreneurial risk among several activities, even if strictly connected.
