The comprehensive production strategy can meet the various market demands and allow Chigo to be the largest-scale and most comprehensive product line, the most comprehensive enterprise of the central air conditioning product series in China.

Chigo CAC's turnover is increasing rapidly year after year. In 2016, annual turnover reached US$0.2 billion with a growth of 22% compared to 2015.

To learn a little more about the company's expectations, ACR Latin America spoke with Carlos Leng, Chigo's Americas Sales Director.

ACR: What are Chigo's main objectives in Latin America?
Carlos Leng:
We want to be the best OEM solution. Since 2002, Chigo began to offer the OEM brand of Latin America as the best product and service. For more than a decade, Chigo insists on this principle and continues to offer the best OEM solution for Latin American customers.

ACR: What do you think about the current situation of the Latin American market?
Carlos Leng:
It's an emerging market with a promising future and potential economic turbulence. Economic and political factors dominate the purchasing power and exchange value of Latin countries.

ACR: What differentiates Chigo from other competitors?
Carlos Leng:
Chigo respects the OEM business partner and has no intention of developing the Chigo brand in Latin America. Chigo understands more about market demand and can offer more competitive products than its competitors.

ACR: Which countries are the most important for Chigo in Latin America and in which countries does it want to enter with its products?
Carlos Leng:
The most important countries for us are Brazil and Mexico, as they are the largest in Latin America and have a high market potential. But we also have goals to work with our products in Colombia and Argentina, mainly; for being countries with an important development and promising future.

ACR: What do you think about energy efficiency in our industry?
Carlos Leng:
The increase in efficiency is slow compared to what we expected, due to the economic situation. Most countries do not have the ability to test products and allow many lower-efficiency products to invade the market with seER's fake high-index label.
