Open door policy for Clients from all Over the World
There are many LED strip manufacturers in China that are open to visits from new and current clients. This forms the core of their business strategy of fostering trust and transparency with their customers. That being said, in my estimation much can be learned by observation from visiting these factories, in particular when examining the production processes alongside the quality and its corresponding technology. Top manufacturers from the Shenzhen area alone have 10,000 m² plants with automated assembly lines capable of producing millions of meters of LED strips every month.
