China's Packaging Machinery Market Research Report - PMMI

9. DOMESTIC PACKAGING MACHINERY VS. IMPORTED MACHINERY
As packaging is the final stage of the whole manufacturing process, the reliability of
packaging machinery directly affects the efficiency of the whole production line.
There still exists a great gap between CPMI machines and advanced foreign
machines in terms of quality, operation reliability, maintena nce, and after-sale
service. As a result, some Chinese domestic enterprises are inclined to import
equipment, especially 0large industrial groups and multi-national corporations
operating in China
