By 2016, Wah Yee Trade Co., Ltd. was ready to expand its operations into mainland China, a significant step that would shape the future of the company. The move into the Chinese market was driven by the need to scale production and tap into a larger consumer base. Mainland China, especially Shenzhen, was fast becoming a global hub for electronics manufacturing, making it the ideal location for Wah Yee’s growth ambitions.

The decision to establish a presence in China was not made lightly. The company was aware of the intense competition but also recognized the immense opportunities for scaling production, reducing costs, and gaining access to a broader market. China’s booming economy and growing demand for high-tech consumer products aligned perfectly with Wah Yee’s goals. The country’s advanced infrastructure for manufacturing and logistics would allow the company to streamline its operations and meet the increasing global demand for its products.

Shenzhen was chosen as the primary location for Wah Yee’s manufacturing base due to its reputation as the ‘Silicon Valley of hardware.’ The city’s proximity to suppliers, advanced manufacturing capabilities, and skilled labor force made it a prime choice for any company looking to succeed in the tech world. By relocating production to Shenzhen, Wah Yee could leverage the city’s resources to not only reduce production costs but also innovate more rapidly.
