Whereas the primary product beneath the eMas (stylised as e.MAS) umbrella hasn’t appeared but, solely set to take action on the finish of the 12 months, we requested the corporate if the model’s eventual market debut will see it competing straight in opposition to the opposite nameplate it represents.

The corporate stated that it received’t be the case, as a result of every can have its personal distinctive identification, with a definite segmentation between the 2 manufacturers, not least when it comes to pricing. “Branding smart, they’re completely in two (completely different) segments,” stated Professional-Web chief branding officer Salawati Mohd Yusoff, who added that they’d complement one another.
