Bridging China-Europe Machining, Powering Precision Manufacturing

SHANGHAI, October 2026 — Shanghai Yilian Industry and Trade Co., Ltd. (ELINK (Shanghai) Ltd) and Sparkle of France have signed a strategic partnership agreement in Shanghai, joining forces to develop the China–Europe market under the theme "Bridging China-Europe Machining, Powering Precision Manufacturing". Mr. Tang Zhifeng, General Manager of ELINK (Shanghai) Ltd, and Mr. Philippe Bocquet, Founder of Sparkle, signed the agreement on behalf of both parties. Together they will build a two-way channel for machine tool accessories: exporting cost-effective, China-made accessories to Europe, while bringing mature European products and technologies into the Chinese market.

Founded in 2009 with a registered capital of RMB 10.6 million, ELINK (Shanghai) Ltd is a professional centralized sourcing service provider for MRO industrial products. Its business covers MRO centralized procurement, Bill of Materials (BOM) sourcing, agency sales of industrial parts and electromechanical equipment, and the sourcing of imported spare parts from Europe, the United States and Japan. The company holds distribution rights for a portfolio of internationally recognized brands, including LOC-LINE modular hose systems (USA), NOGA deburring tools (Israel), KOPAL machine fixtures (France), MicroLoc workholding systems (UK) and KURT vises (USA). Certified to ISO9001, ELINK serves customers across China, Southeast Asia, Europe, North America, Japan and South Korea.

Sparkle operates Indusnetwork (https://indusnetwork.fr/), a professional B2B networking platform for the industrial sector with more than 4,000 members in the machining industry. Members can publish equipment for sale or wanted, offer services, connect with partners whose skills complement their own, and access equipment and services at negotiated prices.

Under the agreement, ELINK will draw on its supply chain integration and product breadth to offer European users a wider range of choices, while Sparkle will leverage its platform resources and industry reach to support ELINK and leading Chinese machine tool accessory manufacturers in entering the European market.

"ELINK has always been guided by the principles of efficiency, transparency and mutual benefit, building an efficient bridge between suppliers and buyers," said Mr. Tang Zhifeng. "This partnership extends that bridge all the way to Europe."

"The value of Indusnetwork lies in connection," said Mr. Philippe Bocquet. "We are delighted to join hands with a professional partner like ELINK — bringing more quality options to European machining companies and opening a door to Europe for Chinese manufacturing."

Going forward, the two parties will deepen cooperation in product exchange, channel sharing, marketing and technical services, jointly advancing the development of the machining industry in both China and Europe — and moving steadily toward a smarter manufacturing future.
