FUTURE PLANS
The Directors believes that there is a growing demand for metal casting in the PRC, particular in the automotive part and component sector and the air conditioner compressor part sector, as international manufacturers in those sectors are continuously moving or expanding their manufacturing operations, or outsourcing their purchase requirement in the PRC. The Group intends to capitalize on such market trend through (i) expanding its production capacity; (ii) improving its moulding capability; and (iii) enhancing its machining an coating services. The Group will also consider further strengthening the co-operation relationship with its strategic partners.
- Expansion of production capacity
The Company and the JV partner will form a joint venture company in the PRC for the production of certain iron casting parts and components. The new foundry will be mainly engaged in the production of metal castings of automobile parts and components.
- Improvement of moulding capability
In order to improve its moulding capability, the Group plans to purchase advanced computerised design system and moulding equipment which will be applied in the design and development of moulds for higher specification metal castings.
- Enhancing machining and coating services
In addition, the Group seeks to create higher value added services to its customers through enhancing its machining and coating services. The Group plans to acquire new machining and coating equipment, such as CNC digital control machining centers and surface coating processing equipment.
- Strengthening the strategic co-operation with international customers
Most of the existing and targeted customers of the Group are renowned international manufacturers, which requires substantial R&D support. The group plans to strengthen the co-operation with these international customers by establishing strategic alliances and increasing business co-operation.
