自2020年初以来，全球疫情给国际贸易带来了新的问题和挑战。各行业的线下业务遇到了巨大的困难。

在疫情初期，为了确保已经回国休假的海外人员的安全， SBM 安排他们在国内总部进行学习。

与此同时，一些海外同事考虑到目的地国家的疫情安全和管控，果断申请前往海外办公室，以便更好地工作。他们为公司做出了杰出的贡献。

经过近三年的全球疫情，海外企业需要更好地适应疫情常态化的形势。SBM的海外市场精英们已经主动返回各自的目的国，恢复相关子公司和办公室的运营。

Mr. Fang, SBM’s Executive Vice President, said: “We hope when the epidemic is over, we can invite our partners and customers from all over the world to visit our company and new production lines which are large-scale, more standardized and environmentally friendly that SBM has built in China in recent years. This will help SBM participate in the Belt and Road Initiative in the near future and promote the new development of domestic aggregate industry to the world. We are full of confidence and expectation because of our layout of globalization over the years.”
