Mainland China makers seek to market own technology |
Fierce domestic competition has forced mainland makers to market their own brand names abroad, or to apply for patents. Established in 2000, Ninestar Image has offices in the United States, Germany and the United Kingdom. "We export our G&G-branded products to countries around the world," said Yue. "Around 90 percent of our ink cartridges are exported," he added. Zhuhai Print-Rite Printer Consumable Co. Ltd exports mainly to the United States, accounting for 40 percent to 50 percent of total output. Another 30 percent goes to Europe, and the remaining 20 percent is sold in the domestic market. "We have applied for patents to protect our products," said He Liangmei, general manager of Print-Rite. "We have acquired over 130 patents for our products," he added. The company is ISO 9002-, ISO 9001- and ISO 14001-approved. |
