Asetek’s business model begins with its research and development team based in Aalborg, Denmark, which manages collaboration with the Company’s global customer base to define requirements and develop cutting edge technology. The Aalborg team works with the R&D team in Xiamen, China to identify the optimal sources for the necessary components to fulfill customer requirements. The sales and marketing team, based principally in USA, oversees the customer relationships to facilitate communi- cation and development, ensuring the developed product meets or exceeds customer demands.
Sales and marketing teams based in Europe and Asia lead or assist efforts with the customers based outside of USA.
The flow of physical product generally commences in Asia. Asetek’s manufacturing and logistics team in Xiamen, China select components and suppliers for the finished product to be assembled by the Company’s principal contract manufacturer based in Xiamen. Finished products are delivered directly to customer hubs in China, with smaller quantities shipped to Europe and USA. Lower volume, highly complex products and components are manufactured in Asetek facilities in Aalborg.
