Each year, the firm recruits a number of new employees whilst co-operating alongside universities for the purpose of recruiting high-quality human resources and launching additional training courses aimed at meeting the working requirements of the company’s global network.

The group previously based all manufacturing activities in China while it has gradually taken steps to increase production in Vietnam, Indonesia, and India in recent times.
