Gasgoo Munich- Great Wall Motor officially opened its global headquarters on June 8. Designed with the next two decades in mind, this massive office complex offers employees a modern environment defined by openness and innovation. More than just a workplace, it embodies the company's founding philosophy and industrial mission: "In Baoding, for the world."Image Source: Great Wall MotorLocated on Chaoyang South Street in Baoding, the new headquarters sits alongside the company's Technology Center, Cultural Museum, and the former headquarters complex. Standing roughly 120 meters tall, the 22-story structure (with two underground levels) integrates office space, conference facilities, dining, and fitness centers. To the south lies the Aiqing Plaza commercial complex, providing employees with convenient access to daily amenities.Designating the new site as a global headquarters underscores Great Wall Motor's forward-looking strategy of being "In Baoding, for the world."That confidence stems from deep roots planted in Baoding over 36 years. Geographically, the group headquarters stands adjacent to the Technology Center, while two full-process manufacturing bases in Lianchi and Xushui districts provide the core production backbone. The Xushui Smart Plant alone represents an investment of over 30 billion yuan, encompassing three vehicle factories, a core components park, and a proving ground. Through vertical integration, the facility achieves a self-sufficiency rate of over 60% for key components like engines, transmissions, and headlights.The company's foundation in components is equally deep. SVOLT, Nobo Auto, and Exquisite Automotive have all secured spots on the global top 100 automotive suppliers list, while MIND ranks among China's top 100 supply chain enterprises. With their headquarters and R&D operations all based in Baoding, these firms work alongside the vehicle business to build a "forest ecosystem"—a multi-species network characterized by interaction, efficient collaboration, and continuous evolution.It is this complete industrial ecosystem that propels Great Wall Motor's global ambitions. Over the past five years, the company has aggressively pivoted toward new energy, intelligence, and globalization. Overseas sales surged from 143,000 units in 2021 to 506,000 in 2025, lifting their share of total sales from 11.1% to 38.2%. International operations have now evolved into a powerful second growth curve.Image Source: Great Wall MotorAs a global headquarters, the site houses not only Great Wall Motor's own development vision but also a commitment to propelling China's automotive industry onto the world stage. Leveraging its "forest ecosystem" as a powerful magnet—spanning R&D, manufacturing, components, and cultural facilities—the company is turning Baoding into a global hub for automotive talent. The goal is to attract top-tier domestic and international professionals to plant roots here, helping China's auto sector build its core strength.
