ACS Among Forbes Asia's Best Under a Billion 2014
ACS was selected as one of Forbes Asia's Best Under a Billion 2014, an unranked list of the top 1.1 percent of publicly listed enterprises in the Asia-Pacific region.
- (1888PressRelease) September 12, 2014 - Advanced Card Systems Ltd. (ACS, a wholly owned subsidiary of Advanced Card Systems Holdings Ltd., SEHK: 8210), Asia Pacific's top supplier and one of the world's top 3 suppliers of PC-linked smart card readers (Source: Frost & Sullivan), has been chosen as one of Forbes Asia's Best Under a Billion companies in 2014. This is the second time that ACS has been included in the list, the first being in 2010.
The unranked list is comprised of 200 top-performing Asia-Pacific companies, selected from a pool of 17,000 publicly listed companies with revenues between USD 5 million and USD 1 billion. According to Forbes, eligible companies must not only be profitable; they must also be consistently growing, and with modest indebtedness. Candidates must also be free from major legal trouble and questionable accounting or management practices.
In the past three years, ACS has consistently exceeded its own sales targets resulting in steady profit growth. ACS's sales revenue in 2013 was historically the highest ever achieved. An annual customer satisfaction survey among ACS clients shows that as of 2014, clients regard their relationship with the company as very good (on a five-point scale ranging from very poor, poor, neutral, good to very good) - which ACS attributes to the trust established between itself and partners, and the simplicity and transparency characterizing ACS business contracts.
"The Best Under a Billion List is not a compilation of top performers in the technology industry. Rather, it is a list that covers all industries, such as manufacturing, construction, software and so forth," says Denny Wong, founder and CEO of ACS. "We are proud to be part of the list that is screened based not only on profits, but overall excellence, including evidence of integrity. ACS will strive to maintain a standard of excellence in all aspects of our business."
