Company

Company overview

Wetouch Technology Inc. runs its touchscreen business through its mainland China subsidiary, Sichuan Vtouch. Its screens let users operate vehicles, industrial equipment and other devices by touch. Automotive and industrial-control applications are its largest revenue sources, with point-of-sale terminals and medical equipment also important. Most sales come from customers in mainland China, alongside overseas sales.

A small group of major customers supplies most of its revenue. These customers buy under multiyear framework agreements that set minimum annual purchases and prices; other customers generally place purchase orders. Customers pay after delivery, so cash generation depends on both continued orders and collection of those payments.

Wetouch is a Nevada holding company with no material operations of its own and has received no distributions from its Chinese subsidiary to date. Chinese profit-distribution and currency-remittance rules limit how cash can move to the parent. Its planned new Sichuan factory also depends on obtaining the land-use certificate and required approvals before the project can proceed as intended.

Wetouch's results depend mainly on touchscreen orders from five customers accounting for 81.7% of revenue, especially demand for automotive, industrial, POS, medical and gaming equipment in China and nearby Asian markets.

  • Interlink Electronics competes with Wetouch for equipment makers choosing how users control their machines: Wetouch sells capacitive touchscreens, while Interlink sells touch sensors and custom control interfaces. Watch Interlink's custom designs entering production, where it often becomes the sole supplier—a sign that equipment makers have committed to its input technology.
