JA Solar sets up Korean subsidiary

Chinese solar power products maker JA Solar Holdings Co Ltd (NASDAQ:JASO) said today it is creating a new subsidiary in South Korea to further grow its presence in the region.

The company has been selling solar cells to Korean customers since 2001, but officially entered the local market after receiving the KS (Korean Industrial Standards) module certification in November 2016.

“We are optimistic about the prospects and business outlook in the South Korean solar market, and believe our new subsidiary will enhance our ability to provide timely and superior customized services to our customers in the region,” said Baofang Jin, chairman and CEO of JA Solar. He added that the move will also help the company with enhancing its brand awareness.

Overall, JA Solar has more than 20 branches across the globe.
