Our name in China

RAPA’s chinese name is “Laushi Baoshi”.

You would think that RAPA is called RAPA all over the world. But many Chinese cannot pronounce the word “RAPA” and so we – like almost all other German companies – have chosen a different name for China.

Many thoughts and considerations went into finding a name and finally we found a translation that has a special meaning as well as sounds similar to the original German name (Rausch & Pausch) to Chinese ears. In the future, we will market the RAPA brand in China with “Laushi Baoshi” (pronounced as Lau-schi-Bau-schi). In German, this means something like “hard-working” and “protection”.

A good Chinese name is in any case the first step to a good image and business success in the land of smiles. Best wishes for continued success!
