Dtech's rise mirrors Dongguan's manufacturing story

Wang Xin moved to Dongguan, Guangdong province to work at a toy-making factory in 1989. However, by 1997, she had started trading in routers and drill bits.

Currently, Wang's company is the global leader in the manufacture of routers and drill bits, which are used in the production of printed circuit boards, and found in sectors including consumer electronics, communications and automobile electronics.
