Norway - Aksjeselskap, translates to "stock company," and gives owners limited liability. In Norway, publicly traded companies now use the ASA notation, and no longer use this notation. Private companies still use this AS notation. An AS requires minimum share capital of NOK 100,000, of which at least 50% must be paid up at incorporation.

Association


Explanation:
Presumably this is from Chinese? There is a Russian term "Proizvodstvennoye upravleniye" which is usually translated int English as "Production Association", though I have never seen this term anywhere elase except as this translation. This could be a suffix denoting what sort of company it is (like AG = Aktiengesellschaft in German, SA = Societé Anonyme in French, and so on), and I wonder if this abbreviation has come into use in China on the basis of the translation of the Russian term.
