During the 2023 Fall Immersion Week to Hangzhou, international students from IBS.BFSU, along with the international students from Zhejiang Gongshang University（ZJSU）, visited the global headquarters of KUKA Home. The purpose of this visit was to provide students from different countries with a deeper understanding of the charm and strength of China's furniture manufacturing industry. It also served as a rare opportunity for exchange and communication between the students from both universities.

Under the guidance of the tour guide at the global headquarters of KUKA Home, the students learned about the group's more than 40 years of development history. During the visit, the students saw the production line of KUKA Home and various new types of home products. They praised KUKA Home's exquisite craftsmanship, unique design concepts, and strict quality control. In particular, KUKA Home's focus on environmental protection and health made the students feel the humanization and modernization of China's furniture manufacturing industry.

After the visit, the students expressed that they gained a lot from the experience. The representative of our university's international students said, “This visit has broadened our horizons. We were amazed by KUKA Home's production line and technology. We are delighted to have the opportunity to come here and learn, as it has a significant impact on our future studies and careers."

The representative of Zhejiang Gongshang University's international students also stated, "We are very grateful for KUKA Home's warm reception and this rare opportunity to visit. We not only learned a lot of professional knowledge but also gained a deeper understanding of Chinese culture. We hope to have more opportunities in the future to participate in such activities and enhance our understanding of Chinese companies."

The manager Mr. Fan and Mr. Shen from KUKA Home's global headquarters expressed, "We are delighted to welcome international students from two universities. This is not only recognition and support for our company but also a great opportunity for cultural exchange. Through this activity, we hope to let more people understand the development of China's furniture manufacturing industry and our products."

This visit not only deepened the students' understanding of Chinese companies and culture but also strengthened the friendship and cooperation between the two universities to provide more opportunities for international students to gain a deeper understanding of China, integrate into China, and cultivate talents with a global perspective and cross-cultural communication abilities.
