DNP Hires Page Li to Expand QC Testing

SANTA FE SPRINGS, Calif.—DNP International named Page Li as its new chemical analysis engineer in its Shanghai office. With his support, DNP will expand its efforts on quality control by adding its own laboratory testing in house.

Li received his Master’s degree in applied chemistry and has more than 10 years of experience with chemistry in manufacturing factories. Before joining DNP International, Li had been research and development supervisor at Axus Stationary Company,  as well as been employed as a chemical engineer at Oerikon Co. and Shanghai Aowei Technology.

Eventually, testing all the items and having 100-percent control of the quality for shipment from China.
