During 2018, Mr. Molenkamp’s services have been hired by Possehl group via Chinadvise. His position was P&L responsible interim managing director at our Singaporean plant and our two Malaysian plants. The

mandates during this project were to:

• meet the budget targets for our Singaporean plant during copper shortages
• meet the budget targets for our two Malaysian plants during same copper shortages, whilst integrating these two plants into one with full customer approval and adherence to customer delivery expectations.

Mr. Molenkamp has performed these tasks to full satisfaction of Possehl group within the assigned period. I warmly recommend Mr. Molenkamp to any international company that has similar issues with their local

entities and in case any further questions pertaining the above, I can be contacted as referee.

Between October 2017 and January 2018 I had the pleasure to work together with Mr. Molenkamp from my function as CFO of Zentec. 

We closely cooperated with the aim to ready Zentec for the pending acquisition by a Chinese private equity group whilst keeping the company going with the employees. 

After the acquisiton Mr. Molenkamp would be the next CEO of ZenTec and with the new investor, we would have restructured Zentec to a commercial succes. Sadly the due diligence could not be completed before Zentec ceased to exist. 

During our cooperation I got to know Mr. Molenkamp as a very experienced business executive that knows how to keep the team spirit in a company alive during averse conditions. 

He is unfazed by even the strongest challenges of intense business restructuring and certainly a very good person to hire for turnarounds where every minute and cent counts.  

Sincerely, Reinhold Klein, former CFO ZenTec Automotive GmbH.

To whom it may concern,

Early 2013, Hilger & Kern hired Mr. Molenkamp via Chinadvise as interim General Manager for our Hilger & Kern – Dopag Chinese WFOE business entity in Shanghai during a transition between two General Managers.

He helped us with a swift, clear and concise situational analysis during the transition between two General Managers and created at the same time reporting transparency with frequent and regular updates. In the board of management we felt well supported with the strategic options Mr. Molenkamp provided for growing our company in the vast and complex Chinese market.

I can warmly recommend Mr. Molenkamp as I feel he is an asset for international SME's aiming to either set up or optimize their Chinese business entity.

During the time that Jan was turning around Maars Partitioning Systems China, my company was a client of theirs, buying top quality partitioning systems for office environments.

Before Jan became the general manager and started to turn around Maars China, I had experienced the signs of a company in distress. Within months after Jan Molenkamp and his team started the turnaround I realized the tides were quickly turning and Maars Partitioning Systems China was getting back in good shape.

During Jan's turnaround, he and I negotiated the largest interior partitioning project sold till that date in China. In the process of getting this deal signed I got to know him as a tough and fair counterpart. This successful deal and the strategic conversations linked to it were the basis for preliminary plans to tighten the relationship between our companies.

The mutually beneficial business relationship between our companies and the good shape Jan got the company in with his turnaround eventually resulted in our company wanting to buy Maars Partitioning Systems China. Presently I am the CEO of Maars Partitioning Systems China and Jan and I are still in good contact. Jan in my opinion understands the intricacies of doing business in China: he is a very good person to bridge cultures for both international companies and Chinese companies.

Between November 2011 and April 2012 we worked together with Jan Molenkamp of Chinadvise in Torque Industries Holding, Ltd.

He analyzed the potential acquisition of a Liebherr CVT business unit and advised our board of management on strategic and tactical implementation. We got to know him as an original and insightful person with a sharp vision, valuable business acumen and clear direct communication.

Jan Molenkamp and Chinadvise in our opinion are very good value for any company.

For companies aiming to hire Chinadvise or Jan Molenkamp business services I'm available for contact.

Since 2016, Hoene Consult and Chinadvise have a good business cooperation. I have got to know Jan Molenkamp in depth during a restructuring project he executed for one of my clients in China. Within the envisaged project timing he delivered the targeted positive company results in a professional, efficient, transparent and ethical manner. For international companies wanting to set up or needing business improvement in China, Jan Molenkamp and Chinadvise are a top choice.

In 2010 – 2011 Jan joined our team in interim position as VP business recovery. During his year long project he helped implement various business system improvements that fast growing companies like PTL need. His business acumen and MBA level knowledge of business systems proved very useful to the situation. Accurate analyses followed by clear strategic planning and sound action items result in swift implementation at all levels of the organization.

On various other projects we have worked together and I got to know Jan as a pleasant, diligent and trustworthy colleague.

With confidence I can state that Jan's knowledge, work ethic and persistence to get the required result in an efficient and effective way is valuable to any company.
