The QuaTerNes Group International Food Material Collection and Procession and Sales Center was completed in Taicang, a county-level city under the jurisdiction of Suzhou, Jiangsu province. 

QuaTerNes is one of the largest fruit and vegetable processing companies in Europe. Covering 10.13 hectares, or 152 mu, with a construction area of 189,900 square meters, the center boasts a state-of-the-art three-story automated warehouse equipped with advanced European cold chain technology.

Leveraging Taicang's strategic advantages, the center aims to become an environmentally-friendly freight distribution base and a smart logistics platform. It includes specialized facilities for cold chain storage, food processing, and temperature-control, to meet the diverse storage and processing needs of high-quality agricultural products.

Taicang's commitment to developing its trade and economic sector is evident in the push for large-scale projects like this. The city is actively enhancing import capabilities, with a focus on creating influential trading and distribution centers for fruits from Southeast Asian countries, timber from outside China, and other global specialty goods.

The completion of the center is a crucial step towards achieving Taicang's vision of a billion-yuan-level modern trade base along the Yangtze River Delta. The city's dedication to modernizing its logistics lines into economic corridors is evident in the rapid progress of key projects such as the Procter & Gamble Supply Chain Innovation Center.

This accomplishment not only strengthens Taicang's position in the global trade landscape but also elevates the city towards becoming a pivotal player in the Yangtze River Delta region's economic growth.
