TAIPEI, Taiwan, July 18, 2006. Onity (formerly TESA Entry Systems, Inc.), the world's leading provider of electronic locking solutions, has expanded the company's operation in China with the opening of a new office in Shanghai. Officially unveiled by Arne Engel, Onity's Managing Director for the Asia Pacific region, the office is located in Pudong, Shanghai's commercial heart. It features a comprehensive product demonstration gallery and a technical services facility. The new Shanghai operation will also house Onity's expanded Sales and Service teams covering the Northern (Beijing), Eastern (Shanghai) and Western (Chongquing & Chengdu) regions of China.
"With our Shanghai operations, Onity is further demonstrating its commitment to one of the fastest growing markets in the world," said Engel at the grand opening. "Shanghai was chosen as our base in China, since so many of our Chinese customers are located or headquartered here. However, the new office will also manage Onity resources deployed as far away as Chongquing, and will further enhance our customer responsiveness across China. This sets our service apart from our competitors."
"The new Technical facility is being headed up by Mr. Gary Cheuk, Onity's Greater China Technical Services Manager, who is a familiar and trusted face to all of our Chinese customers," he continued.
"I am pleased that Gary will supervise and train all local technical talent. Furthermore, the facility will enhance parts availability and repair capabilities across the country. The product gallery will be utilized for demonstrations of Onity's technological solution and to provide training for our customers and distribution partners."
The Shanghai office is an excellent addition to Onity's portfolio, and will supplement its Hong Kong operation, which will continue to service Southern China customers due to their close proximity. Both the Hong Kong and Shanghai offices are being managed by Onity's Greater China Country Manager, Ms. Tonia Wan, who has many years of experience with hospitality customers. The Shanghai office will be the 11th Onity office to open in Asia Pacific and is being headed up by Ms. Linda Wan, who reports to Tonia. Additional offices and strategic alliances for China are being planned for the remainder of the year.
