Industry Prospect

Growth in the PRC market

We have been actived in the PRC market since 1995. Since then, we have established subsidiaries, joint venture and associated companies in the PRC in cities such as Suzhou, Chongqing, Shenzhen, Shanghai and Beijing and we also conduct business activities in major cities in the PRC, such as Mianyang, Shenyang, Xi'an, Harbin, Fuzhou, Chengdu, Guangzhou and Wuhan. As the PRC continues to grow as a manufacturing hub for the world economy, its demand for motion control and industrial computing systems are expected to increase.

Growth in the Thai market

Since 2000, we have been active in the Thai market through our subsidiary SD Thailand, which we have established to design, assemble and sell our motion control systems to the Thai local market. Our Directors believe that Thailand is an increasing important manufacturing hub for automobiles, hard disk drives and semiconductors and also has an active market for textiles and food packaging. Demand for our motion control systems is likely to increase as our manufacturers seek to reduce production costs through higher efficiency of their production equipment.
