Kotex Development Holdings Ltd (KOTEX-formerly Kotex Electronics Company) is a Hong Kong privately held company established in 1988. We started the business in manufacturing analog alcohol breath testers, integrated security alarm systems and other healthcare electronics products.
In 1991, we produced the first digital alcohol breath tester (KX-148) and several other top models for the market in the following years.
In 2003, by recognizing the growing global market demand for accurate but yet affordable alcohol breath testers, KOTEX restructured and shifted the development focus for manufacturing consumer / prosumer level alcohol breath testers with high accuracy standard.
In 2005, our first ODM model successfully obtained DOT approval (Department of Transportation) in US for its high accuracy performance.
In 2007, Kotex Electronics Company is renamed to Kotex Development Holdings Ltd to align with the company's goal of introducing and distributing our high quality consumer / prosumer level alcohol breath testers, worldwide.
We are a fully integrated manufacturer with R&D functions reside in Hong Kong and production plant in high-tech industrial zone of Shenzhen, China.
