While Tony has resided in Melbourne for the last 10 years, he is also the international sales manager for a family business in China, which manufactures and sells Eagle Pair Laser and IPL Safety glasses as well as manufacturing specialised, coated optical items such as IPL filters and light guides. This experience has not only given him an insight into optic design, which would be available to few, but has also given him and his family a unique relationship and insight into the processes of manufacturing not only in China but throughout the world.
Tony’s father is an optical expert located in Beijing China, with over 30 years of experience in designing coatings, manufacturing optical components and spectrum analysis. He started the family business in 1990’s which now services various industries, including a meteorologic satellite that was launched around 2000.
Eagle Pair started serving many aesthetic equipment manufacturers in 2005, being the only Chinese Polycarbonate Laser and IPL Safety Glasses manufacturer at that time. It is recognised in China as a manufacturer and supplier of quality coated optical components. Eagle Pair developed extensive links and formed direct relationships with most of the aesthetic equipment manufacturers in China, providing necessary components such as filters, light guides and protection eyewear.
This direct business link with the Chinese manufacturers has allowed Tony to assess which of these have the highest levels of quality control and are truly passionate about their designs and the products they build. He has been able to go beyond the selection factors of size, product range and price, to asses the factory’s reputation, ethics and passion, looking for those who can not only provide a quality product, but who are willing to stand behind it 110%. Tony’s connections ensure that all our products will perform when it really counts.
Through Tony’s family support, Australian Aesthetic Devices has established agreements with several Chinese manufacturers to build a range of products. The long family business relationships with these manufacturers has provided Australian Aesthetic Devices the unique ability to not only fully customise these technologies to best suit the needs of the Australian Market, but also allowed the family to drop in and audit the manufacturing for quality at any time. Additionally, if issues do occur, Tony is able to speak directly to the manufacturers, and where required, his father, as a representative of Australian Aesthetic Devices can visit the factory and assist in resolution.
Tony gives Australian Aesthetic Devices one of the strongest support structures and links to the manufacturers, in many ways eclipsing that of being a direct employee. He has the ability to “Fire” them if they do not perform, and he has the ability to request more and push the manufacturers into area’s of advanced innovation.
Tony plays a very important part in ensuring that the manufacturer is fully aware of the design requirements needed for the Australian market. Additionally, the expertise of Tony and his family offer a pathway for Australian Aesthetic Devices to specify optical enhancements in filter manufacturing which will ensure the technology will be comparable to, or surpass that of other Brand-Name systems currently on the market.
