“Building intercultural bridges for China is a matter of trust.”
Manfred Steinkellner, Founder of Steinkellner China Search
Our foundation: Values, vision, and lived China experience
The fascination for the complex economic environment of China and the desire to enable future-oriented developments for companies like yours drives us. We believe: Sustainable success only comes through genuine intercultural bridge-building. An attitude that has grown directly from Manfred Steinkellner’s over 20 years of China experience. Only those who understand both worlds and actively listen can create the right connections.
That’s why long-term thinking, trust, and uncompromising quality are at the center of our actions. We reject pretense and short-term mercenary mentality. Instead, we focus on transparency, reliability, and a “tough but fair” approach. Our goal is to find the best possible, lasting solution as your trusted partner.
The people behind the method: Your team for China.
