Other countries, other customs
This proverb is known to many people and aptly describes that cultures and languages around the world are very different. Especially in business, it is important to adapt to local conditions and needs in order to be successful. Therefore, for us as an internationally oriented company, introducing a Chinese company name for our branch in Nanjing, China, is an important step.

The Sound makes the music
The Chinese language is different from other languages in the world in many ways. A particularly important point is the importance of sounds and accents in the pronunciation of words. Supposedly similar-sounding syllables can have different meanings for one and the same sound. Therefore, it is very important for our company with a branch in China to have a Chinese name that can be easily understood by Chinese customers, prospects and employees.

The cultural significance
In addition to the linguistic aspects, the cultural significance of a Chinese name is also important to us as an international company. A Chinese name can help to make the company easier to pronounce and remember for Chinese customers and business partners. In addition, using a Chinese name signals an appreciation of the local culture and shows that the company is adapting to local customs and conditions.

Legal regulations
Last but not least, there are legal regulations in China that make it mandatory to use a Chinese company name. These regulations are important to ensure clear identification and differentiation of companies and to enable customers and users to clearly identify them. Furthermore, companies in China are registered under their Chinese name; an English or German byname is more of a stage name here and is not of legal relevance.

The meaning of our Chinese company name: 万规管理软件(南京)有限公司
Chinese characters often hide several meanings, and our Chinese company name is also open to different interpretations: Our name consists of the characters “万” (wàn) and “规” (guī), which offer various possible interpretations.

  • “万” stands for “ten thousand,” “detailed,” “profound,” and “specific,” while
  • “规” stands for “regulations” and “rules”.

This combination reflects our core mission: we translate complex compliance requirements from laws, standards, internal policies, approvals and contracts into simple and easy-to-understand tasks. We examine the legal framework down to the last detail and also take local regulations into account. Therefore, with our name “万规” we would like to emphasize not only our expertise in the preparation of rules and regulations, but also our support in their compliance and application.

As an international company with a branch in China, the introduction of a Chinese name is essential for us. We pride ourselves on adapting to local conditions and needs, thereby building a better connection with our Chinese customers and users.
