KPS Euman wants to become a world benchmark in the sale of electrical appliances



The Asturian company KPS has celebrated its alliance with the Mastech group in an act attended by the Regional Minister for Employment, Industry and Tourism.

The company’s staff base comprises around fifty people, a production division covering 3,500 square metres, and a five-year production forecast of 250,000 devices each year.

The newspaper La Nueva España has published an interview with Jackie Ip, CEO of the Mastech group, in which the Asian businessman claims to be proud of the new project that will be taken on by his group and KPS.

“I am truly excited about this new project because I think we are doing something that no one has done before, especially in Asia”.

KPS Euman’s creation opens its doors to Mastech and allows it to enter the European and American market. “It will be a key point for introducing our company into the Spanish and European market, and we think that we could lay foundations in developed American countries”.

Jackie Ip’s expectations for the new company are very positive. In a time frame of five years, he hopes the company will turnover around 15 million euros – this figure is currently at 7 million – selling products on a world level. Aware that the Asian and European cultures are different, he proposes a global business strategy in which the specific way of working in each local group is respected. The GdP Legal office, with headquarters in Asturias, has commercially coordinated the business operation, right from its origins through to achieving a successful end to the operation.

Finally, he expresses his best wishes for the KPS factory: “We hope that by the end of this year, production will be taking place with the same speed and efficiency as in our Asian factories”.
