APAC Innovation Days: building stronger ties and shared know-how across China

On March 17^th and 18^th, in 2026, Verlinde hosted its Asia-Pacific partners in Jiangsu, China, for two rewarding days of learning and teamwork. Through focused training sessions, technical discussions and valuable exchanges, the APAC Innovation Days offered a great setting for sharing know-how and deepening regional partnerships.

The APAC region keeps expanding thanks to our partners' dedication and input, and we want to back that growth with the best possible support. APAC Innovation Days gave us a valuable chance to share knowledge about our products and tools — especially the new Eurobloc VF hoist — while learning more about the particular needs and constraints of each local market. These conversations will help us sharpen our commercial approach, offer more relevant support, and reinforce the lasting relationships at the heart of how we operate.

The programme opened with a presentation of the new Eurobloc VF hoist, introducing all attendees to its latest features and synthetic rope technology. It then moved into dedicated commercial and technical sessions matched to participants' areas of expertise. Sales and management teams looked at Verlinde's explosion-proof product line, ExpertCrane, and open winch solutions such as PDW and UM. Interactive workshops covered the newest digital sales tools, while, in parallel, technical teams took part in hands-on training on the MT range, CAN bus technology and ExpertCare. A factory tour rounded things off, linking the training content to Verlinde's industrial expertise.

After two inspiring days packed with learning, teamwork, a factory tour and meaningful conversations with our partners, the APAC Innovation Days seminar has now drawn to a close. The event encouraged the exchange of knowledge, strengthened relationships, and showed how powerful collaboration can be in driving innovation across the region.

Many thanks to all the participants, as well as to Verlinde's trainers and team members, whose efforts made this event such a success.
