Zhaopin Limited Opens New Branch Office in DongguanBEIJING, Nov 10, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Zhaopin Limited (NYSE: ZPIN) ("Zhaopin" or the "Company"), a leading career platform in China, today announced the opening of its newest branch office in Dongguan, Guangdong Province. The new branch office is expected to facilitate Zhaopin's acquisition of new customers in the region and allow the Company to better serve small-and-medium-sized enterprises ("SMEs"). Traditionally a large and prosperous manufacturing center, Dongguan is undergoing a transformation as the economy transitions towards a service-based economy. As China continues to restructure its economy away from low-end manufacturing, Dongguan is repositioning itself as a hub for technology and start-ups with the support of new government regulations. Working in close collaboration with the Company's Suzhou call center, the Dongguan branch will leverage its strong marketing and branding capabilities to support the call center's acquisition of new customers in the region and generation of new revenue streams. The new branch office provides Zhaopin with the opportunity to test new products and technologies as well as marketing existing ones. Over time, the Dongguan branch office is intended to play an increasingly important role in managing Zhaopin's sales and marketing activities throughout southern China. "We believe our suite of existing and soon-to-be-launched products and services are a perfect fit for the nature and magnitude of the transition ahead," commented Mr. Evan Guo, Chief Executive Officer of Zhaopin. "We would like to take part in Dongguan and Guangdong Province's rebuilding of their vibrant economies and are confident in our ability to contribute in ways that will also create value for our shareholders. The newly opened branch office will work closely with local governments, universities and high-tech zones to provide a growing base of highly skilled workers with an efficient and effective career platform. This is a perfect opportunity for Zhaopin to showcase its vision, solid executional capabilities, and comprehensive career development platform - all of which are critical to fortifying our market leading position. The new Dongguan branch office will also further expand our geographic reach in southern China and help to strengthen our relationship with the vast number of SMEs operating in the region."
