Marc Jonckers, Founder and Chief Corporate Strategist, commented, "The infrastructure in Vietnam has rapidly matured to offer a viable alternative to the traditional Chinese based testing alternatives. As the Chinese market rapidly becomes a full blown consumer market, along with associated cost increases, it is important to be able to maintain cost level options in resourcing our client needs."

Sung Cho, Jonckers VP for the APAC region comments, "Our belief is that China will continue its emergence from a low cost resource pool, to a more complex and higher cost basis consumer market. We believe that the importance of our significant Chinese presence will shift towards a local market expertise and communication model more in line with our European and US offices, effectively moving us beyond China's traditional role as a primary low cost resource pool. While this will not happen overnight, Vietnam will be instrumental in keeping us ahead of the development curve and immediately provides additional options for our clients that want to maintain low cost/ high volume strategies."

The Vietnam Testing Center is added to a list of organically developed global resources and locations employed to extend Jonckers localization capabilities in line with the needs of their industry leading global clients.
