China and in 1992, to provide for future expansion the Group opened
its own purpose built manufacturing facilities in Bao An, China.

is highly vertically integrated and has a very strong team of
R&D engineers, responsible for product design and development,
supplemented by production and industrial engineers, where ideas,
on the drawing board, are converted into final products, rolling-out
from the production-lines, seamlessly.
To

component used in electric iron products, BEP made its first thermostat
in 1993 with assistance from Japanese consultants.

for monitoring product quality during all stages of manufacturing.

installed in 2001, connecting the Group's Hong Kong office with
its manufacturing plant in China.
