Dear Friends,
Twenty years ago, in pursuit of our dream to
develop the world-class products and offer the first-
class services, my partners and I set up a R&D
manufacturing base for pre-press equipment in
Hangzhou.
Our success story started with the highly popular
colour offset machines, fully automatic image
setters and currently world-standard CTPs. It
is worth mentioning that our UV-CTPs are
taking the lead on many technological fronts.
The success is attributed to years of dedicated
hard-work and co-operation with partners.
We look forward to working with friends from
different parts of the world to share our dream and
success.
Welcome to Hangzhou, the most beautiful city of
China.

Mike Xiang, Chairman of CRON
