Xiaomi plans European headquarters in Dusseldorf

The Chinese smartphone and electronics manufacturer Xiaomi wants to expand its European business. Germany plays a central role: „We will establish our European headquarters in Dusseldorf,“ said Xiaomi Germany Head Alan Chen Li in an interview with the Handelsblatt. According to the manager, several hundred employees will work there in areas such as logistics, finance, service and marketing. The report continues that the central location in Europe is an argument in favor of the site. However, an exact schedule for the construction is difficult to plan due to the Covid pandemic.
