our customers a wide range of services to enhance the appearance
of their garments. These processing techniques include sand
blasting, whiskers, hand brushing, stone washing and garment
dyeing. Please refer to the section entitled “General

|
|
|
|
A strong
R&D Team is a critical factor in the development and execution
of new styles and designs. As already discussed above (please
refer to the section on Research and Development), R&D is one of
our biggest advantage over our competitors. |

Our CEO,
Raymond Wong has been instrumental in spearheading the growth of
our business. He has accumulated approximately 30 years of
experience in the garment processing and industrial laundry
equipment industries over the years. Through his interactions
with multi-national companies in these industries, he learned

We are committed to deliver quality products and services within
a competitive lead time |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We have in
place a stringent quality assurance process
with quality inspections and checks at various stages of our
garment processing work flow and our manufacturing process for
industrial laundry equipment. As a testimony of our quality
control management, our rejection rates accounted for less than
1.5% of our Group’s revenue for each of the last three financial
years ended 31 December 2004 |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In
addition, we believe that we can deliver our processed garments
within a competitive lead-time, as we are able to modify our
equipment to improve the efficiency of our garment processing
workflow. Our ability to modify our equipment also gives us an
edge over our competitors, as we are able to achieve the desired
effects on garments and meet our customers’ varied
specifications. As an endorsement of our quality services, we
believe we are one of the few garment processing service
providers in Cambodia, approved directly by major US fashion
labels. |
|
|
|
|
|
(v) |
We have a competitive cost structure |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
We believe
that maintaining a competitive cost structure is critical to our
success. As our business grows, we actively manage our operating
cost structure and institute various measures to improve our
operational efficiency. Our
approximately 5,000-strong workforce is flexibly deployed
amongst various workflow stages in our garment processing
facility to ensure optimal utilization of our resources.
Through our
knowledge from the industrial laundry equipment business, we
have regular maintenance schedules for our equipment in the
garment processing facility, thereby ensuring minimal disruption
to our garment processing workflow. Our R&D team also explores
ways to increase our productivity and cost efficiency by using
different garment processing techniques. Since the middle of
2004, we have installed boilers that run on scrap wood to
replace diesel-fuelled boilers in our garment processing
facility, thereby enabling us to reduce our utility cost.

products and services, we have built up a good reputation and
record of accomplishment amongst our customers. In addition to
our in-house brand, we also distribute more than 10 other brands
of industrial laundry equipment. We provide prompt after-sales
service to our customers to minimize any disruption to their
operations. Our repeat customers constituted approximately 60%
of our revenue from the industrial laundry equipment business
from FY2003 to FY2004. |
