Finally, Mr. Andre Kuckuk highly appreciated Xinlun’s on-site performance, expressed his gratitude to Xinlun for its good performance in cooperation with Schaeffler over the years, and expressed his expectation as well as pertinent suggestions on how to strengthen the cooperation between the two parties.
