DORTMUND, GERMANY & HONG KONG: ELMOS Semiconductor AG has signed a distribution agreement with Hong Kong based company Technokey. It focuses on the distribution of proximity and gesture recognition systems, with a special emphasis on customers in the Chinese markets.

Technokey maintains six offices in China and Hong Kong. In addition, Technokey is represented with further offices in Taiwan and Japan. The distributor draws on the experience of more than 20 years in sales, technical support, and logistics management.

'ELMOS is very happy to have Technokey as a distributor. Our patented system for proximity and gesture recognition systems called HALIOS has been receiving positive customer feedback. We are convinced that together with Technokey we will have great success with HALIOS solutions in the Asian market,' says Jürgen Höllisch, Management Board member of ELMOS Semiconductor AG for Sales and Development.
