Advantages of Geographic Location
With the cities of Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Foshan, Zhongshan, and Dongguan as its core, the Pearl River Delta (PRD) of Guangdong Province is an important industrial base and commercial market for LED and FPD in China. The crowding of private enterprises and government investment alongside this region clearly demonstrates the associated geographic advantages and business competitiveness. Foshan, located at the central part of Guangdong Province and with all connections to Hong Kong and Macau, is the traditional production and R&D base for electrical light sources. It sparkles in the PRD region due to its comprehensive industrial supply chains and strong government support for the advancement of lighting and display technologies.
