• ACS Among Forbes Asia’s Best Under a Billion 2014

  HONG KONG, 20 August, 2014 - Advanced Card Systems Ltd.

This is the second time that ACS has been included in the list, the first being in 2010.

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.
