Alibaba Opens Australian and NZ Headquarters to Tap Growing Global Demand
Chinese online retailer Alibaba Group opened its Australian and New Zealand headquarters in Melbourne on Saturday, its first expansion in the region as it seeks to tap growing global demand for products from the two countries, according to Reuters.
"With a local office and expert team, Alibaba Group will help Australian and New Zealand businesses share their world-famous products with billions of customers around the world," Jack Ma, Alibaba Group founder and executive chairman told a ceremony attended by over 350 business, industry and government figures, "Alibaba Group is here to make it easy to do business anywhere."
There are over 1,300 Australian and 400 New Zealand brands on Tmall and Tmall Global, many of which entered China for the first time through these platforms, according to Ma.
The success of Australian products were illustrated through the 2016 Double 11 Global Shopping Festival, with Australia ranked the fourth highest selling country, said Xinhua.
"Alibaba Group's vision for the ANZ region is to build the entire operating infrastructure needed to enable local businesses to expand globally," Maggie Zhou, the group's Australian and New Zealand managing director, said.
