PART.01
Understand the century long history and future direction of Haifule
At the Haifule Exhibition Hall, Ms. Sibylle Thierer, Chairman of the Board, vividly introduced important milestones in the company's over 100 year development history to Prime Minister Olaf Scholz and his delegation. Ms. Sibylle Thierer has been leading the diversified development of the company as the leader of Haifule for the past 20 years until 2023. She has expanded Haifule's business scope from furniture hardware to door hardware, and then to whole house hardware solutions.
Haifule entered China in 1996 and established a wholly-owned foreign-owned enterprise in Beijing in November 2002- Haifule Hardware (Beijing) Co., Ltd., located in the Beijing Sino German Industrial Park, bringing functional and innovative hardware products to the Chinese market. Haifule is one of the earliest German funded enterprises to invest in Shun.
