And I decided to join Aosheng because my long experience in automotive, I can have some good knowledge about the company that can have success in automotive parts supplier.

As my colleague Eric said Aosheng is already in automotive, but mainly in China, and now we are starting promoting in Europe. I think we have a lot of capabilities to show to the European market, and we will have a good success. I will contact all the big car manufacturers, the racing car producers and also the part producers for a TIER 2 a supplying strategy. I hope you will enjoy our entrance in the market. Thank you.

For example, last year they have been awarded as best supplier´s quality supplier from the VESTAS company, because they have a huge market in wind energy. Actually, from this year we are opening a European based office.

We can do almost every part of the cars by the carbon fiber also we have machines and we will hire more talent to develop our new technology, to focus on our manufacturing. And for the innovation, we also do the thermoplastic materials. So for the future, we think that the thermoplastic materials and the process will be our main course. Thank you very much.
