Testimony from General Manager:
Zhang Enping, General Manager of DCL, stated:
“DCL’s products have been exported overseas for many years, mainly to Europe and North America. We have had a decade-long collaboration with CSA Group, and after obtaining certification for our standard electric actuators in North America, they have been very successful. Now, with our explosion-proof series also certified for both Division and Zone systems in the United States and Canada, we expect to further expand our market share in North America. The high standards of the North American explosion-proof system posed significant challenges for our research and design teams, but with collaborative effort from both teams, we successfully overcame technical and manufacturing challenges to pass the evaluation.”
