AOK turns crisis into opportunity

The financial crisis has left a trail of destruction in its wake, but also opened up new vistas for many entrepreneurs like He Daqing, the general manager and founder of Beyond AOK Electric Company.

The eight-year-old company in Wuxi in East China' Jiangsu province manufactures electric heaters and has recently made significant strides in the global marketplace.

AOK is the only company that makes electric heater systems for oil refining projects and is the only such firm in China which matches up to international, EU and US certification standards.
