Kinyu Brings Flexible China Hiring Services to Shanghai

SHANGHAI, Aug. 7, 2024 – Kinyu SCM, China’s only supply chain-focused employment solutions provider, is proud to announce the opening of its new Shanghai office.

The Shanghai region, China’s top financial hub and international centre, handles over 40% of the country’s foreign trade. Naturally, it’s the first choice for foreign companies needing a presence on the Chinese mainland.

However, opening and running a representative office here can be slow, expensive, and full of red tape. And now, with ongoing trade disputes, tariff uncertainties, and regulatory changes, it’s even more difficult. Companies want access to regional talent and suppliers, but with the flexibility to scale operations up or down quickly and without long-term commitments.

Kinyu’s Shanghai branch addresses this need by offering regional access to its acclaimed China Desk services. Through this office, businesses can now:

• Hire and manage directly through Kinyu across the Yangtze River Delta
• Use Kinyu’s team members for their projects
• Access the region’s supply chain and talent without complex administrative processes

“Our Shanghai branch is great news for foreign businesses with suppliers or operations in the region,” said Benjamin King, founder and CEO of Kinyu. “They get all the benefits of being in Shanghai and the Yangtze River Delta – quality suppliers, logistics and talent – without the time and money needed to set up their own entity.”

Full Suite of Services

The new Shanghai office provides Kinyu’s full suite of China Desk services, including:

• Employer of Record (EOR) services for quick and compliant hiring
• Supply chain management and optimization
• On-the-ground oversight and management
• Access to a network of supply chain resources and talent
• Strategic advisory for China operations
• Office Infrastructure for your team members to work from

“We combine operational expertise with HR services to offer companies a cheaper and easier way to manage their China-based activities,” King added. “If you want to keep control over your China operations, reduce time spent on bureaucracy and stay flexible, The China Desk is really the only game in town.”

The office will allow Kinyu’s clients to access talent and manage operations across the Yangtze River Delta region, including Hangzhou, Ningbo, Nanjing, Wuxi and Hefei. As a result, Kinyu now covers China’s three major economic areas, with other offices in Guangzhou (south China) and Tianjin (north China).
