Core Viewpoint - The LED display industry in North America lacks a significant supply chain advantage, with over 60% of the market being dominated by a Chinese company, Shanghai Sansi Electronic Engineering Co., Ltd.

Group 1: Company Overview - Shanghai Sansi Electronic Engineering Co., Ltd. was established in 1993 and specializes in LED displays, LED lighting, smart transportation, smart cities, and system integration solutions, holding over 880 independent intellectual property rights [2]. - The company began its overseas expansion in 2003, exporting products to numerous countries including the USA, Europe, Japan, the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Africa.
