We are proud of where we came from. Started as a small distributor of Japanese global companies, we developed to be a manufacturer of their products. Then we moved further, by developing and manufacturing our own products under our brands. Along the way, we have built up capabilities and expertise in many areas, including electronic, magnetic, plastic, wooden, optical disc and telecommunication.
At present time, beside maintaining the sales of our own products and brands, we have stepped into manufacturing services business to serve telecommunication industry, especially for 4G LTE brand owners.
