Similarly to this translation, the manufacturer identifies his activity as active, stormy, filled with vital energy.

Currently, more than 1,500 employees are involved in projecting and improving devices in the organization in 4 development and research headquarters based in Shenzhen (China), Nanjing (China), and Dongguan (China) and in New Delhi (India).
