Johnson Electric Holdings Ltd

A maker of electric motors, actuators, and motion subsystems, Johnson Electric supplies the hidden motors that power car windows, power tools, home appliances, and medical devices around the world. It was founded in Hong Kong in 1959 by Wang Seng Liang and his wife, who started by making tiny motors for toys. The name "Johnson" doesn't come from any founder — it was simply chosen as a name that would travel well in global markets.
