“We are excited to be listed at the Shanghai Stock Exchange and expand our high-quality products and services to a wider scope of customers globally,” said Alex Chen, VP of Commerce at SuZhou Etron Technologies. “Quality and reliability have been the key aspects of SuZhou Etron. With strong leadership in the past decade, we have developed a rapidly growing and sustainably strong customer base. For each of them, we provide a fast turnaround time to bring their products from design to prototypes to finished products in great quality.”
