FUTURE PLANS
The Directors consider that one of the competitive edges of the Group is its design and development capabilities. The Directors intend to continue to enhance these capabilities through recruiting high cailbre design engineers. The Group also intends to strengthen its collaboration with universities in Nanjing for future product design and development.
In response to demands for overseas DIY chain store operators for power tools tat are designed and produced in series, the Directors intend to introduce various series of power tools products for targeted customers DIY chain store operators. The Directors also aims to explore the market for other tools bearing similar mechanical designs of power tools which are not electrically powered. The Group will continue to co-ordinate closely with its major customers to identify and anticipate customers needs and preference and to introduce innovative products in a timely manner.
The existing production facilities of the group in Suzhou, the PRC is capable of providing only limited support on the Group's distribution operations. To cope with the anticipated increase in the range and volume of products, the Directors plan to establish new production facilities in (Hai An County Economy and Technology Development Zone), Jiangsu Province. The new production site has a site area of about 200,000 sq.m. The Directors expect that the end of 2003 will complete the construction of the manufacturing facilities.
