EHC has been awarded the distinguished 'best product quality' award by Xizi Otis during their annual supplier's conference. Of the 80 major elevator and escalator component suppliers in attendance, EHC was the only escalator component supplier to win this award. Jenny Ding, Sales & Marketing Manager accepted the award on behalf of EHC Shanghai, "this means a great deal to us, because it demonstrates that Xizi Otis recognizes that EHC never sacrifices quality for cost savings, and that we are a valued supplier to them."

In 2004, Xizi Otis received more than 10,000 orders for escalators and elevators. They are the number one plant among all Otis China operations; its newly constructed escalator plant is the largest in the world, and in November its new hi-tech OH5000 elevator was launched in China. EHC supplies Otis with both conventional rubber escalator handrails and NT, EHC's patented thermoplastic handrail.

"Winning the Best Product Quality award for our escalator handrails is an honour - Xizi Otis is the world's largest escalator manufacturer. This award confirms that in today's competitive market place, customers value quality products, and reward suppliers who exceed their expectations," said Danielle Wang, Vice President of EHC, Asia Pacific Area.
