    My thought
    The good thingsEverybody from top to bottom level working tremendously to fulfill customer demands. You will see a very good teamwork in every aspects. Very supportive and friendly top management!
    The challengesSometimes push too hard to stand on same level with big player in terms of technologies and capacities. Need to invest more on facilities and equipment for products that not in company niche. Current technologies sometimes give headache to solve problems.
