IndeedPearl River started with nothing in 1999 and now has the country’s largest dealer network and is the fastest-growing piano company in the U.S. , Canada and Australia. It’s a piano success story that began in 1956 with a tiny piano company producing four upright pianos a month.
Many factors have contributed to the dramatic growth of Pearl River over the last 50 years:
“… China’s liberalised economic policies, a Chinese tradition of manufacturing expertise, a loyal and skilled work force, extremely favourable overall production costs. …”
