| German-based testing institute selects Hong Kong ( 10/05/2004 ) | |||||||||
The president of VDE Global Services GmbH Dr Gerhard Dreger said the company is excited about its strategic move in Hong Kong. "Hong Kong is the logical launching pad to better serve manufacturers and retailers in this part of the world with fast, customer-oriented processing of VDE testing and certification services - and to access decision makers throughout the region." The Hong Kong office will work with CMA Testing and Certification Laboratories to provide product testing and certification in the city. It will also provide consultation on standards and European directives for usability testing, as well as system certification. General manager of VDE Global Services HK Ltd, Andreas Fabian, said it is crucial to have an office in Hong Kong to keep abreast of the latest developments in the China market. "With Hong Kong's proximity to the mainland, we will be able to have easy access to real time information from the mainland. The strategic location of Hong Kong in the centre of Asia also provides an excellent platform to develop our testing and certification businesses in the region." Since its foundation in Germany in 1893, VDE has evolved into one of the largest technical and scientific associations in Europe with 33,000 members from the electronic, electrical and IT industries. The association established VDE Global Services GmbH to strengthen their international services for safe electrical products. InvestHK's director-general of investment promotion, Simon Galpin, said the presence of VDE "will further strengthen Hong Kong's position as the regional centre for technical service providers and consultancies."
