plan to serve the expanding Chinese market for modern manufacturing
technologies," said Robert Nygren, President & CEO of Epic Data International.

Chinese manufacturers with their strategic initiatives to deliver high quality
products through the use of innovative, world-class manufacturing technologies."


The Epic-HUST joint venture operation, which is based in the Central China city

Automobile Group, one of China's largest truck manufacturers.
