If the industrial ecosystem can be regarded as “hard power”, then the business environment can be called “soft power”. SIP adheres to the principle of “no disturbance unless necessary, full support whenever needed”, aiming to help businesses enhance resilience to challenges with its services.

“Every great journey has a beginning. For L’Oréal China, Suzhou is the starting point,” said Marc-Antoine Poulle, a member of L’Oréal’s global operation management committee.

Next month, L’Oréal’s Suzhou factory will celebrate its 30th anniversary. Located in SIP, this factory has grown into L’Oréal’s largest manufacturing base worldwide. In 2024, L’Oréal’s first self-built smart operation center came into operation in SIP, capable of processing 157,000 parcels per day. Marc-Antoine Poulle attributed such achievement in digitalization to SIP’s efficient, pragmatic services.
