Can you tell us briefly about your educational and professional background, and your position at TC TECH?
“I have a master’s degree in Material Science and Engineering from NTHU, Taiwan. Previously, I worked with development and project management in the solar energy sector for eight years in Asia and Europe. Then I started working for TC TECH, and I have been with the company the last four years. At first, I worked as a system engineer, but today I am Head of Sales for Asia where China and Taiwan are our main markets.
My position includes:
- Head of customer communication
- Business development and building customer relations
- Meeting potential customers on location for technical discussions
- Finding new potential applications in various industry segments
- Managing and training our local distributors
What do you like the most about your work at TC TECH?
”The new technologies and interesting products that TC TECH offers have very high potential in many different industry applications. Among other things, they enable the production of higher quality LPG’s and other optical films that go beyond the current industry standard.”
”The biggest and most exciting challenge is to enter into an already established market with a new production method that sets a new industry standard. By working closely with every customer, we are able to set a new standard in precision and quality together, creating a win-win situation.”
Which application areas and geographic markets are you focusing on when it comes to marketing and sales activities?
”Our systems are well suited for ambitious customers that create products with high-performance specifications. We are focusing on customers aiming to reach leading performance in LGP’s, diffusers for mini LED and other optical films with very detailed patterning.
“Providers that manufacture optical LPG products of the highest quality are based in China and Taiwan, and we have therefore decided to focus on these countries. To broaden our application areas, we are now evaluating other potential markets and applications where TC TECH’s unique technology can be utilised.”
Can you briefly describe the interest you are receiving from potential customers in these new application areas?
“The traditional production methods used today are not good enough for next-generation products in several areas where very high precision and quality is required.
TC TECH’s technologies enable manufacturing of future products in areas such as:
– Micro and mini LED
– Optical films for AR and VR applications
– Films for lightings
– Microfluid applications in the biotechnology sector
