Highlights from Foad Ghalili’s interview, President/CEO of Epoch International, with I-Connect:
Purpose-Driven Establishment
- Thirty years ago, Epoch was established with the goal of improving worker conditions, bringing enhancements to the high-tech manufacturing space, and catering to companies seeking IP protection.
Holistic Employee Development
- We emphasize both material and spiritual improvement for employees; this fosters a sense of community, resulting in low turnover and close relationships among employees.
Diverse Engineering Expertise, Value Added Services
- Beyond mass manufacturing, we provide extensive engineering support. We have a dedicated team of engineers for product design and development, including hardware, software, and mechanical teams.
- We receive concepts from customers which we then develop and bring the product to the mass market, by providing design, development, and manufacturing services.
Global Expansion Strategy
- While Dalian has the largest capacity, our Fremont, CA facility is transitioning from prototyping to mass production, particularly in the medical sector. Additionally, we’re establishing a facility in India to serve customers locally.
- Our vision for a global strategy is to build in the region for the region, hence Dalian for Southeast Asia, California for the US, and India for local customers.
