正文
In answer to your questions, Action Appliances has been manufacturing top quality appliances for 15 years now. We began selling rice cookers from one small shop in Taipei. At that time, we were strictly a mom-and-pop operation.
To keep up with overwhelming customer response, the company expanded rapidly. We improved our R&D department and enlarged our product lines to include washers and dryers, refrigerators, and microwave ovens. Our appliances are geared toward households with high needs but minimal space.
Taiwan is still our main market. As a matter of fact, you'll find at least one Action appliance in one out of three households in Taipei alone.
With a strong home base, we feel we're ready to move overseas. Recent consumer research efforts prove that over 40% of the appliance market in Canada and the United States consists of highly efficient, compact products. You'll find that our appliances meet these needs.
