On October 25–26, 2026, PTI had the great pleasure of welcoming 18 distributor partners from eight countries — France, South Korea, Malaysia, Russia, the Philippines, Morocco, the Czech Republic and Indonesia — to Dongguan for the PTI Agents’ Summit & Exhibition 2026. Held on the eve of NEPCON ASIA 2026, the two-day program combined Lingnan culture, open conversation and a close-up look at PTI’s products, operations and people.

Day One: Gardens, Incense and Ancient Lanes
The first day belonged to Dongguan itself. At Keyuan Garden, one of the four great classical gardens of Guangdong, the group wandered among pavilions, verandas and lotus ponds, taking in the elegance of Lingnan architecture and the unhurried rhythm of southern Chinese life. A guided tour through the garden’s halls brought two centuries of local history to life.

The journey continued at the China Agarwood Culture Museum, where the story of Dongguan’s celebrated guanxiang incense unfolds — from the geography of agarwood trees to centuries of incense craft. For many of our guests it was a first encounter with this fragrant side of Chinese culture, and a memorable one.

The afternoon was reserved for Xixi Ancient Village, a well-preserved settlement of grey-brick houses, weathered gates and quiet lanes dating back to the Ming and Qing dynasties. As the sun went down, everyone gathered in the village for a dinner rich in local character — a meal, like the whole day, that needed no translation.

Day Two: Inside PTI Dongguan Operations Headquarters
Day two moved to PTI’s Dongguan Operations Headquarters, where the summit turned to business. Sessions focused on PTI’s ICT in-circuit testing, FCT functional test systems and FAI first article inspection, together with test fixtures and automation — less a product catalogue than an open discussion: real applications, market feedback from eight regions, and what our partners need to win in their own markets.

A guided visit then took the group through the showroom and production areas — a closer look at how PTI test systems are engineered, assembled and calibrated, and at the quality culture behind every shipment. For many partners, seeing the machines and the people behind them in person said more than any brochure could.

An Evening on the Garden Terrace
As night fell, the summit closed on a lighter note: a Western buffet on PTI’s garden terrace. Under soft lantern light and slow-swinging glasses of red wine, conversation drifted from delivery schedules and new products to families, travel plans and the year ahead — the kind of exchange that only happens face to face.

One Network, One Goal
Distributors are the bridge between PTI and thousands of customers around the world. Two days in Dongguan reminded us that behind every market there is a person, behind every order there is trust — and that the best way to strengthen both is to sit at the same table.
Our thanks go to every partner who made the long journey. See you at the next stop — and as always, online and on the production floor, wherever our customers need us.
