IECHO President Frank recently led the company’s executive team to Germany for a joint meeting with Aristo, its newly acquired subsidiary. The joint meeting focused on IECHO global development strategy, current product portfolio, and future directions for collaboration.
This event marks a major milestone in IECHO strategic expansion into the European market and a new phase in putting its global idea “BY YOUR SIDE” into practice.
Steady Global Growth Supported by a Strong Team
Before joining forces with Aristo, IECHO employed around 450 people worldwide. With the successful integration underway, the IECHO global “family” has now expanded to nearly 500 employees. The company has a powerful R&D division of over 100 engineers, continually driving product innovation and technological advancement.
IECHO products are sold in over 100 countries and regions, with more than 30,000 units installed globally. To ensure a superior customer experience, IECHO has built a strong service and support network: over 100 professional service engineers provide both on-site and remote assistance, while more than 200 global distributors cover diverse regions and industries. In addition, IECHO operates more than 30 direct sales branches across China and has established branches in Germany and Vietnam to further strengthen localized operations.
Strategic Partnership: Combining German Quality with Global Reach
During the meeting, President Frank stated:
“‘Made in Germany’ has long represented excellence, stability, and reliability worldwide. This belief is shared not only by me but by many Chinese customers as well. Since I first encountered Aristo equipment in Ningbo in 2011, its eight years of reliable performance left a deep impression on me and revealed tremendous potential for future collaboration.”
He further noted that IECHO has become one of the top producers in China and globally, maintaining steady growth. The company’s successful IPO in 2021 provided a solid financial foundation for ongoing development and strategic investment. IECHO aims not only to deliver cost-competitive products but also to become a global leader in quality and reputation.
“BY YOUR SIDE”: More Than a Slogan - A Commitment and a Strategy
“BY YOUR SIDE” is IECHO core strategic principle and brand promise. Frank explained that the concept goes beyond geographic proximity; such as establishing early direct sales branches in China and exhibiting across Europe; to encompass psychological, professional, and cultural closeness with customers.
“Being close in geography is just the starting point, but understanding how customers think, providing professional service, and respecting local culture are even more important. We believe that Aristo’s integration will greatly strengthen IECHO ability to live out its ‘BY YOUR SIDE’ statement in Europe; helping us better understand European customers and deliver more localized, tailored solutions.”
Europe as a Strategic Hub: Synergy, Collaboration, and Shared Value
Frank emphasized that Europe is one of IECHO most important strategic markets worldwide. The acquisition of Aristo; IECHO first-ever acquisition of an industry peer; is not a short-term financial move but a long-term value creation initiative.
“Aristo will no longer operate as an independent entity but will become an integral part of IECHO European base. We will leverage Aristo’s geographic advantages, brand reputation, and cultural understanding in Germany, combined with IECHO R&D strength and manufacturing capacity in China, to co-develop digital cutting solutions that better serve global customers. This synergy will enhance both the IECHO and Aristo brands’ credibility and competitiveness in the European market.”
Looking Ahead: Building a Global Leader in Digital Cutting
The successful meetings in Germany have set a clear direction for the integration and future development of IECHO and Aristo. Going forward, both teams will accelerate resource integration and deepen collaboration in product R&D, market expansion, and service enhancement; jointly striving to position IECHO as a global leader in digital cutting technology, delivering smarter, more reliable, and more customer-focused cutting solutions worldwide.
