Understand your board before pitching a machine
What product, which components, what volume, what budget — without these four answers, any recommendation is just selling.
About Jason Wu
Turning Shenzhen electronics manufacturing experience into machines on your line.
I am Jason Wu, founder & CEO of Shenzhen Southern Machinery Sales and Service Co., Ltd. I started on factory floors installing and debugging equipment, spent 30+ years in SMT/THT machinery, and founded the company in Bao'an, Shenzhen in 2011 — with one focus: moving through-hole insertion in EMS factories from hands to machines. Radial, odd-form, pin/eyelet insertion, plus wave soldering, spare parts, and automated material transport.
How I work
Three rules I do not bend
Report measured numbers only
CPH, accuracy, takt, and payback come from running YOUR components on our machines in a demo — not from brochure peaks.
The sale is the start of the service
Reply in 2 hours, first proposal the same day, resolution plan in 3 days — then installation, training, and spare parts until the machine earns its floor space.
