We are a leading provider of automation and control technologies and products
in China and increasingly in Southeast Asia, India and the Middle East that
enable our diversified industry and utility customers to improve operating safety,
reliability, and efficiency. Founded in 1993, we serve over approximately 6,000
customers in the industrial, railway, subway, nuclear power, and mechanical
and electronic industries in China, Southeast Asia, India, Europe and the Middle
East. Our proprietary technologies are applied through our industrial automation
solution suite, including the DCS (Distributed Control System), PLC (Programmable
Logic Controller), RMIS (Real-time Management Information System), HAMS (HolliAS
Asset Management System), OTS (Operator Training System), HolliAS BATCH (Batch
Application Package), HolliAS APC Suite (Advanced Process Control Package),
SIS (Safety Instrumentation System), high-speed railway signaling system of
TCC (Train Control Center), ATP (Automatic Train Protection), Subway Supervisory
and Control platform, nuclear power non-safety automation and control system
HolliAs-NMS DCS and other products.
We have a substantial reputation in the PRC domestic industrial automation
industry for our comprehensive capabilities and have focused on the development
of this market. We carry out integrated solution projects for, render automation
services to, or sell our products to, national or multi-provincial companies
with subsidiaries located throughout China. To date, we have served more than
6,000 industrial enterprise customers including state-owned enterprises, multinational
corporations and local private companies and have undertaken over 20,000 projects.
We believe that the quality of our systems is unsurpassed by local Chinese competitors
and is comparable to high-end foreign suppliers of DCS and the history of our
projects supports that view. For example, after three years of review and analysis,
BASF, a large multi-national company, has designated us as a potential qualified
DCS vendor for the company, a distinction shared with large multinationals such
as ABB and Emerson.
We have also entered the PLC market, which is mainly used in discrete control
applied to a wide array of industries. PLCs are usually integrated together
into machines providing control at the machinery level. With more of our proprietary
products introduced into the market and the behavioral change of customers’
purchasing practice, we gradually changed our market and sales positioning from
a single DCS/PLC product provider, to a total solution provider encompassing
third-party hardware-centric products such as instrumentation and actuators,
our proprietary DCS/PLC products, and valued-added software packages such as
AMS (Asset Management System), MES (Manufacturing Execution System), APC (Advanced
Process Control), OTS Simulation (Operator Training System), and others. The
safety system SIS (Safety Instrumentation System), certified under European
safety standards and newly introduced to the market in July 2012 will further
round out our proprietary product suite in the industrial automation segment.
We have branched out from the industrial automation domain into the subway and
surface rail businesses, leveraging on our core competency and strong research
and development capabilities, and have already established a leading position
in the high-speed rail signaling market and subway SCADA (Supervisory Control
and Data Acquisition) market. Besides, we have developed our proprietary high-speed
rail signaling system and subway signaling system, and certified both according
to European Safety Standard Certification Level 4.
Internationally, we have a strong presence through Concord and Bond in Southeast
Asia and increasingly in the Middle East, India and Hong Kong SAR. Through these
acquisitions, we are expanding and deepening our ability to offer mechanical
and electrical solutions in design, engineering, procurement, project management,
construction and commissioning, and maintenance to a wide range of industries,
such as manufacturing, banks, hospitals, airports, power plants, commercial
centers, hotels, and infrastructure works. We believe that our present leadership
position in the high-growth segments is attributable to our vision, execution,
and strong research and development capabilities.
During the past several years we have achieved a number of significant contract
wins, including (i) contracts with MTR Corporation of Hong Kong SAR to provide
a complete suite of high-speed rail signaling systems to Guangzhou-Shenzhen-Hong
Kong Express Rail Hong Kong Section; (ii) a contract with SMRT Trains Ltd. in
Singapore to provide design, electrification and installation for station renovations
on North-South and East-West lines and a contract with Thales Solutions Asia
Pte. Ltd. to provide design, installation, testing and commission for replacing
the existing signaling systems for the North-South and East-West lines and install
new signaling systems for the Tuas West Extension line in Singapore; (iii) a
contract with Land Transport Authority in Singapore to provide the Integrated
Supervisory Control System for the Thomson & Eastern Region Lines in Singapore.
We believe that our international stature will be further enhanced by our obtaining
international certifications such as the European Safety Standard Certification
Level 4 for our proprietary high-speed rail signaling and subway signaling systems.
