“Building intercultural connections to China is a matter of trust.”
Manfred Steinkellner, Founder of Steinkellner China Search
Our foundation: Values, vision, and close China experience
We are driven by our deep fascination with China’s complex economic landscape and our commitment to empowering companies like yours to grow strategically. We believe that lasting success stems from authentic intercultural connection. An attitude that has grown directly from Manfred Steinkellner’s 20+ years of China experience. Only those who understand both worlds and actively listen will create valuable connections.
That’s why long-term thinking, trust, and uncompromising quality are crucial for our actions. We reject pretense and short-term mercenary mentality. Instead, we focus on transparency, reliability, and a “tough but fair” approach. Our mission finding the best possible, lasting solution as your trusted partner.
The people behind the method: Your team for China.
