Wang Xin, 53, is the founder and chairwoman of Guangdong Dtech Technology Co., Ltd., which holds the world's largest market share of printed circuit board (PCB) drill bits, accounting for nearly three out of every 10 sold globally.
Born into a rural family in central China's Henan Province, Wang joined a generation of young migrants who headed south for factory work.
In 1997, Wang started a modest trading shop with her mother, her brother and sister-in-law. The family collected used drill bits from larger factories, resharpened them and sold them to smaller manufacturers. Wang began developing her own products in 2004. Riding the wave of global manufacturing shifting toward China, her company leveraged its self-developed equipment to rapidly increase production, capture market share and boost sales by 50 percent. Since then, the company's growth has been steady. Despite her company's success, Wang continues to push for technological upgrades. "Pursuing the ultimate product and reaching the world's top level is a goal deeply shared by Dongguan's manufacturers," Wang said. (Photo by Xinhua/Mao Siqian, Source: Xinhua)
