Founding team members, past and current staff, business partners and friends from around the world came together to celebrate Electro-Acoustics Systems’ (EAS) 40th anniversary on the 9th of December at the award-winning Min Jiang restaurant at Demsey Hills in Singapore.
In her welcome speech, Lam Tze Tze, executive director of EAS, highlighted how founding leaders Lam Tong Loy (current CEO) and Eugene Chan were bold in establishing EAS, through
foresight, competence and commitment that led to a strong foundation being built.
“Ahead of its time, there was no model to emulate. In setting the strategic direction for EAS, we embraced imagination and a forward-thinking attitude and upheld high standards of professionalism, technical expertise, integrity, and credibility. Our mission is focused: to continue being the leading audio-visual company in Singapore,” said Tze Tze.
Ms Lam continued, “Our pioneers gave us a headstart, and we have accomplished a lot together in our first 40 years, fulfilling the needs of many organisations in the private and public sectors in Singapore and abroad. As we remain bold and build upon our success, we are mindful of the need to constantly innovate and refresh ourselves with the latest technologies and knowledge. This has seen us working with technologies that are still in their nascent stage. I believe AV will evolve even faster in the next ten years, and new applications will be unlocked, empowering people even more. Our spirit of adventurism will continue to lead us to new markets and opportunities.”
Lam Tong Loy, better known as T.L. Lam, added in his welcome speech that the company was fortunate over the last 40 years to work with high-quality, technically innovative and reliable partners. “Most importantly, EAS lived up to its mission. Since our inception, we have gained a reputable name in the AV system integration market in Asia. I would also like to take this opportunity to express my gratitude to our past and present staff for their hard work and contribution over the years.”
