UPM Rafsec opens new sales office in Beijing
21.2.2005UPM Rafsec, a leading RFID tag manufacturer and member of UPM Group, announces today the opening of a new sales office in Beijing, China, to strategically position itself at the core of the world’s promising embryonic RFID market.
On January 3, 2005, Hong Liu joined the new UPM Rafsec office in Beijing as the Business Development Manager for China. He will report to Edward Lu, UPM Rafsec Business Development Director for Asia.
“We are pleased to welcome Hong Liu to the team, especially during this exciting time for the RFID technology industry in Asia,” comments Edward Lu. Hong Liu has over 20 years of experience in various managerial level jobs in China, the latest in the field of contactless cards, RFID and auto ID systems.
“We can expect regulations in the not too distant future that will demand all goods to be tagged with RFID tags at their source,” continues Edward Lu. “Consider big retailers; today many of their imported goods are manufactured in China and in time to come there will be a strong need for reliable RFID tags in China. UPM Rafsec has made the vital move to open its doors in China to be closer to its partners, distributors and customers. Our customers are really excited to have us just a stone throw away when it comes to technical support".
