Mr. Masahiro TAKEDA, President of AGC Flat Glass China
Once the Marketing Manager in Japan headquarters of AGC Group, now Mr. TAKEDA is enjoying his career and life in China. He takes care of two manufacturing factories and 7 sales subsidiaries in China mainland and Hong Kong, yet he also manages to spare time for entertainment with his beloved cat which was successfully brought to China from Japan after great efforts to pass the severe inspection procedure. He reads a lot about Chinese history and knows many historic figures and events. The deepest impression in China for him is the Jinghang Grand Canal which is the oldest and longest manual-canal in the world. When he walks across the bridge over the Canal, seeing it still in use nowadays after such a long history, “My strong feeling is that this is China! And I’m in China!” Said Mr. TAKEDA.
