TV Head-end Products for Professional TV Distribution

DEXIN is a manufacturer of profes-sional tv head-ends. These types of devices are often specially made ac-cording to customer requirements and

since each application would have to be optimally configured DEXIN employes a large number of engineers in their R&D department.

DEXIN moved into their new produc-tion building at the end of 2012. Be-fore that the company was located for years in downtown Chengdu. But they outgrew that site and General Manager Sun Yu decided it was time to move to a completely new building. Sun Yu is not only General Manger; he’s also a part owner of DEXIN. He explains to us: “My two brothers are also part owners but they don’t take part in the company’s daily activities. “

It wasn’t always like that. “The com-pany was founded in 1994 under the name DESAI.” Back then analog modu-lators and transmitters were manufac-tured for the local market in China. In those days Sun Yu’s parents were part

owners of DESAI. “In 2005 the owner-ship changed and my family became the majority holder and since then I’ve been General Manager.”

With this change the company start-ed to go in a different direction: “We began focusing more on exports.” Cur-rently, domestic sales make up only 50% of their business; the remaining 50% of their products are exported. “We not only changed our sales territo-ries, we also switched over our product palette primarily to digital TV.”

Analog components are still being produced but only for the domestic market and also as replacement parts. Where does DEXIN export their prod-ucts to? “We have many deliveries to

Product Testing

1. 200 racks can be found in the burn-in room and each of these racks can hold up

to 30 devices. All of DEXIN’s products have to undergo a burn-in test. They are fully connected

and have to function correctly for 30 uninterrupted days. Only then can they be shipped to customers.

2. Shaoshang Liang is responsible for product testing. He mana-ges the 30 employees that take the finished products and install and

connect them in the racks. After a successful 30-day test, they are then prepared for shipment.

Eastern and Western Europe, North and South America and also many Asian countries.”

Their success shows that Sun Yu made the right choice with the compa-ny’s realignment: “In 2012 we achieved sales of 120 million RMB (14 million Eu-ros) and for 2013 we’re expecting an increase to 150 million RMB (18 million Euros).”

Outside of their main headquarters in Chengdu in central China, DEXIN also has offices in Xinjiang in northwestern China and in the capital city of Beijing. “We also have an office in New Delhi in India”, adds Sun Yu.

DEXIN’s largest product group is the Encoder-modulators. “They make up 60% of our exports and are our best sellers.” Aside from that, DEXIN also delivers many individual components such as encoders, modulators and IRDs that are all designed for installation in 19” racks.

There are 12 employees in the Sales team that take care of worldwide sales. DEXIN has a total of about 190 employ-ees of which 60 of them are R&D engi-neers.

DEXIN can be found at many inter-national trade shows; Sun Yu wants to further increase their exports. Thanks to the highly qualified employees on their R&D team and in their actual pro-duction, that should be no problem.
