About us: the China-Spain Trade Office
OCCHE is the China-Spain Trade Office: the representative and delegate in Spain of China's main official institutions for economic affairs. We have official backing from China, but our private status gives us a more practical outlook for developing business between the two countries.

Official backing, private management
As the representative in Spain of Chinese institutions and associations such as the CCPIT, the CIECC with the CCOIC, and the Foreign Affairs Office of the Qingdao Municipal Government, we promote trade agreements between companies on both sides. The goal is always the same: honest, fruitful, long-term collaboration, while actively seeking new opportunities for cooperation.
That dual status, institutional and private, is our main advantage. The official side opens doors and gives access to databases, bureaus and chambers of commerce. The private side responds quickly, speaks the language of business and measures results in orders, registrations and signed agreements.
Three principles in every collaboration
- Official representation. We act as the link between Chinese institutions and foreign companies, backed by formal representation agreements.
- Tailored service. We serve all kinds of companies, from SMEs with some experience in international trade to large corporations. We can act as an adviser for one-off services or as a strategic partner for the full development of your project in China.
- Complete coverage. We cover any need you have in China with our team of experts and our networks of institutional and private-sector partners, across a wide range of sectors (food, cosmetics, medicine, household care, chemicals, heavy industry, finance) and throughout China.
Our story in three chapters

- Creation and institutions: the agreements of November 2009 with three Chinese institutions and the bodies that joined later.
- Press and news: appointments, agreements and media coverage since 2010.
