The App has a product selector to see the engineering details of each of the company’s products. There is also a section for product/project videos. There is also a section where you can download the company's technical datasheets, brochures and catalogues.

In the contact page it shows the company's various offices around the world and you can click on the number/email within the App and it can directly call or email within your phone.

I mainly coordinated with the Project Manager.

Excellent

What did you find most impressive about this company?

Price - it was a fraction of what the Malaysian and Hong Kong companies charged with a much better result. Also speed, took 4 weeks for the finished product and the others took over 3 months without a satisfactory result.

None
