00:00On Wandong, one of China's main gateways to reform and opening up, reached an economy of around $2 trillion in
00:082025, while its robot production grew by more than 30%.
00:13Our correspondent Bruno Falschi reports from one of its cities on how technology is transforming a country.
00:22Guangdong Promise is one of China's major industrial centers, and it's advancing its technological modernization.
00:30In the city of Dongguan, around 70% of companies in the industrial sector have already implemented digital transformation processes.
00:39There, Guangdong's top star technology develops automation and robotics solutions.
00:45The company also makes significant investment in research and development.
00:49At this R&D headquarters, we are mainly working on laboratories such as the Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, the Environmental Reliability
00:56Laboratory, and the Electromagnetic Compatibility Laboratory, among others.
01:01The company has approximately 2,000 employees, and R&D personnel account for nearly half of the total workforce.
01:08In addition, we have more than 600 granted patents.
01:13Its applications range from injection molding machines and industrial robots to vision systems and automation.
01:22The company has a sales and service network covering more than 50 countries and regions, with a presence in Latin
01:29America and a subsidiary in Mexico.
01:35In Mexico, we began developing our business in 2019.
01:38It is currently our largest market and we have many customers, including those in the home appliance sector.
01:44Some initially purchased only a few pieces of equipment, but lately began acquiring our fully integrated solutions, including the equipment
01:51you have just seen.
01:52We currently have a customer in Mexico that has 8,000 factories around the world and uses top star equipment
01:58in all of them, whether injection molding machines, robots or automation systems.
02:05According to the company, overseas sales have reached nearly 100 million dollars, equivalent to around 26% of its total
02:16revenue.
02:16In Brazil, it began developing its operation in 2022, three years after entering the Mexican market.
02:26Brazil is an emerging market. It has a large population and a great consumer potential.
02:31In recent years, it has become one of our top priorities.
02:33We believe it has very strong growth potential and it is a market in which we plan to make significant
02:39investments.
02:40We have a direct sales team in the country of around 10 people, as well as two or three good
02:44local partners.
02:46Companies such as Top Star are part of a broader strategy of socialist modernization, the leadership of the Communist Party
02:54of China.
02:55In Guangdong, this strategy is reflected in successive five-year plans, with a strong emphasis on technological innovation and the
03:04development of new productive forces.
03:08I'm Fauci, Dongguan, China, for Telesur.
