Success of EtherCAT in China continues

The world headquarters of the EtherCAT Technology Group (ETG) in Nuremberg, Germany was founded in 2003 and has since grown into a global phenomenon. Today, the ETG maintains regional offices in four other countries. One such country is China where Beryl Fan, manager of the local ETG office in Beijing, and her team promote EtherCAT technology while supporting implementation in the Chinese market. In these areas, they have become wildly successful: When the ETG China Office was founded in 2007, there were fewer than 10 member companies. Now, the People’s Republic of China has broken the 500 member barrier.
