Austin Hughes started as an agent and distributed European brand 19\u201d IT rack solutions to the Hong Kong market. \u201cWe attached importance to the customer services and built up a good reputation among the reseller partners & end-users. It helped Austin Hughes to develop a good customer base in early years,\u201d says Matthew Chow, CEO of Austin Hughes Electronics Ltd.<\/span><\/p>\n From the mid-1990\u2019s, the Internet grew rapidly worldwide. Companies needed fast Internet connectivity and non-stop operation to deploy systems. Many data centers were built in order to provide commercial clients with a range of solutions for systems deployment and operation. As one of the world\u2019s leading international financial centers, Hong Kong\u2019s data center market grew rapidly as well. High quality but cost efficient IT products were in great demand. \u201cBased on our experience, we started to design our own brand of rack solutions for data centers as well as other customer sectors. In 2000, we invested in developing our own production plant in Dongguan China. It was then that Austin Hughes evolved from an agent into a manufacturer with products design and development capacity.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n He adds: \u201cMeanwhile, Austin Hughes expanded the business from Hong Kong into global markets. From 2002-2006, we set up branches in UK and US respectively. We had ideal and mission to extend the Hong Kong IT products to Americas, EMEA and other APAC.\u201d <\/span><\/p>\n China is the world\u2019s fastest-growing major economy and has become a focal point of Asia. According to market research, the market for data centers has grown rapidly in Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen. \u201cWe are considering putting more sales and marketing effort into these cities. Apart from the opportunity in China market, we do believe China \u2018Belt & Road Initiative\u2019 will enhance economic co-operation among countries along the proposed routes. This significant development strategy will help explore our business in some APAC and EMEA regions. We have been working closely with our distribution partners in mainland China as well as some overseas regions and preparing for the coming opportunity. In order to fulfill the increasing sales, we need to enhance the production capacity of the plant. Hence, we keep on strengthening and expanding the plant production facilities for the coming challenges.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cInfrastructure solution covers many different types of products \u2013 Racks, Power, Cooling, Sensors, Access Control, LCD KVM, etc. Most competitors may just focus on one or two product categories. Differently Austin Hughes is capable of offering all these products designed, manufactured and distributed on our own.<\/span><\/p>\n Compared with our competitors, Austin Hughes always has the edge by its wide and diversified product categories.
