The Mid-Autumn Festival is around the corner, falling on the 15th day of the 8th month of the Chinese lunar calendar. For centuries, the festival has been synonymous with family reunions, big feasts and enjoyment of a beautiful full moon.  On that day, there will be an interesting and exciting "Mooncake Gambling" game, commonly called “Bo Bing”. It was originally devised to relieve the homesickness of soldiers in the Ming Dynasty and later gained popularity among the commons and officials.  As the Mid-Autumn Festival is the second important holiday in Xiamen after the Spring Festival, many companies organize “Bo Bing” activity in the hope of creating sustainable chemistry and fostering solid trust among team members. Besides, it is also a good way to reward hard-working and high-performing employees.  So “Bo Bing” game is full of fun, excitement and surprise. Every one of us in Dervos feels excited about this game and loves it very much. We believe good luck awaits us in the second half of 2014.

The 21st World Petroleum Congress (WPC) is a great success for us and the event itself. A lot of visitors come to our booth and have a great time talking with us. A few trial orders of small ball valve and check valve are placed because of our expertise, sophisticated industry experience and earnest attitude impress potential customers and regular customers. In addition, several visitors ask for detailed company information and expect to visit our plant in the autumn this year.

We have been maintaining good and lasting business relationship with this old friend in Argentina for almost seven years. They are quite satisfied with our good-quality products, on-time delivery and our professionalism, for which we have received numerous repeat orders over these years and built good friendship with them. On the invitation of our friend, our boss Eric and sales manager Ken flew to Argentina for a 7-day visit at the end of July. We were warmly welcomed at the airport and had a terrific food in distinctive flavor. During these seven days, we were invited to have dinner with their family, shown around their warehouse and factory and went to watch an amazing football match in the local stadium. What an unforgettable memory it is! This trip further deepened our mutual trust and strengthened business cooperation. We look forward to the visit from our customers in the future.

What big news for Dervos! After years of planning, design and construction, the new plant is put into use. Everyone at Dervos is working together to achieve this goal. On the occasion of our 7th anniversary, we added “the icing on the cake” to Dervos. The new plant is currently located in Anfeng Industrial Park, Yubei Town, Yongjia County, Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province. It is worth noting that the new plant has greater production space, a comfortable working environment, advanced facilities and production management systems to increase productivity and automation.

As a leading valve supplier in China, Dervos was founded in 2008 in Xiamen. The past 7 years have witnessed the rapid growth in Dervos, from customer base to number of employees and market share. We attribute this success to the collaborative efforts and endeavor of Dervos people under the leadership of our boss Eric and sales manager Ken. The anniversary celebration falls on June 28th. It is an unforgettable night when all Dervos people gather in a Chinese hotpot restaurant to share the bittersweet memories and to celebrate the hard-earned success. In joyful atmosphere, we had a great time enjoying delicate refreshments and yummy food. What a wonderful night! Apart from the celebration dinner, every employee gets handsome bonus from our boss and his inspirational speech motivates us to keep on hard working. The next anniversary will surely come with huge progress and great success achieved by Dervos in achieving its long-term goal and mission.

2014 is an important year for Dervos to go global and seek more opportunities to work with customers, end users or manufacturers.

This event is definitely the door to more potential customers or new customers in Europe and other regions.
