Abby Tsoi, CEO, ANDA Technologies USA, Inc.

Was your business able to recover fully or partially from the global pandemic during 2021? Do you still have employees working from home?
We planned and prepared for a major downturn but only experienced relatively minor issues. We have fully recovered from most issues and are performing quite well at this time.

Our approach to working from home is all about trying to find the right balance. Some people work from home as their functions allow, but we still value people meeting face to face--as we do with our customers. Those connections matter.

Has your company been affected by the inventory shortages of semiconductors and electronic components in 2021? Are you able to hire enough qualified employees?
Indium Corporation is pretty deep in the supply chain. As such, we've seen the impact of inventory shortages in customer demands and in their expectations of us to be nimble and flexible. Our factories have addressed this in the way we service our customers.

We've been able to secure wonderful employees through our award-winning internship program, our global network, and our corporate values. We believe in developing our own talent by giving our employees training and education to help them succeed and advance.

What are your expectations for the electronics assembly industry in 2022?
We expect the electronics assembly industry to have continued strong growth, with opaqueness as to where factories and demand will be located. As the decoupling of the Chinese economy from the rest of the world shakes out, we will remain nimble, keeping our global teams and footprint strong so we can respond to customer needs around the world wherever they arise.

Have you or will you travel again to customer sites or industry conferences in 2022?
We certainly have, and we will continue to be at industry conferences in 2022! We are excited for the opportunity to meet our industry colleagues and friends face to face at conferences around the world as the year unfolds.
