VESDA Chosen for Superior Quality and Customer Service
Shanghai – June 2, 2010 – VESDA by Xtralis has been recognized as one of the Top 10 Brands in the Fire Category in the first HC360 Industry Awards. HC360 is a leading business-to-business electronic platform and media channel in China. The VESDA brand was chosen from among hundreds of fire products for its superior quality and customer service.
The contest lasted approximately seven months and involved 14 national departments, including the China Business Trade Department, China Central Promotional Board, National Development Committee and China International Trade Development. It was jointly organized by the China Electronic Business Association and popular media channel HC360.com with 2,600 organizations and enterprises from 24 industry categories as voting judges, and supported by more than 300 other media and television stations.
Ken Cheuk, Xtralis sales director in China, and David Zhou, Xtralis national sales manager in China, represented Xtralis at the awards ceremony held in the China Diaoyutai State Guesthouse.
“VESDA by Xtralis as an exported brand is very privileged to receive this prestigious award,” explains Ken Cheuk. “It shows that our efforts in the past years have received recognition from the China market, and it will motivate Xtralis to continue to provide excellent product and customer service to contribute to the fire industry in China.”
VESDA aspirating smoke detection (ASD) technology was invented and is manufactured by Xtralis. As market expectations for fire products rise in China, VESDA ASD has been successfully deployed in a wide array of applications, including airports, rail transport, metros, tobacco factories, sports arenas, warehouses and power generation plants.
VESDA actively detects smoke at the incipient stage of a fire to provide very early warning, which conventional point-type detectors struggle to do. Even in special applications, including large, open spaces such as a 12-meter high atrium where conventional point detectors do not perform reliably, VESDA ASD is the ideal solution.
