"Wuxi's proximity to Shanghai offers an advantage for Achievo's Japanese customers, as Shanghai is an important hub for Japanese business interests in China," said Dr. Robert P. Lee, chairman and chief executive officer. "Achievo's Japan Business Group already enjoys a significant operation in Shanghai. Furthermore, establishing operations beyond China's large urban centers, such as Shenzhen, Beijing and Shanghai, is an important part of our overall business strategy and a key differentiator between Achievo and its Indian counterparts. The large Indian-based IT companies are limited to specific regions that offer the necessary urban infrastructure. China, by contrast, has many urban as well as suburban centers with infrastructures already in place. We believe establishing R&D centers in these cities shields us from the rapid inflation seen in larger metropolitan centers and allows Achievo to offer additional value to our customers as a result."
Known as "Little Shanghai," Wuxi is one of the first cities to benefit from China's expanded economic policies. The enjoyable climate and rapid economic opportunities have turned Wuxi into a hotbed for foreign investors.
The Wuxi government is devoting significant resources to the development and support of high technology and IT services outsourcing industries in this region. Achievo's new Wuxi offices are located in iPark, a new 150,000 square meter technology center that is home to more than 40 companies engaged in software development, IC design and digital animation. Achievo's new office spans 3000 square meter.
"Wuxi is a beautiful city and its importance to China's high technology industry is growing, especially for our Japanese customers," said Dr. Lee. "Our hope is that establishing operations in the Yangtze River Delta will further ensure our ability to attract, hire and retain the best engineering talent available to deliver products and services with the highest possible quality while simultaneously giving Achievo customers expanded regional choices."
Achievo customers and local government officials are invited to participate in a ribbon cutting ceremony at the new facility on Friday, August 29 at 3:30 p.m.
