Account & Profile

 

Since the establishment of the company in 1974, we have grown for 32 years with higher profit rate than the average of the industry. This is attributable to our continued practice of value chain management. Now, the revenue from the Rental and Maintenance businesses occupies one third of our total revenue, which contributed the improvement of our break-even point.

The fourth inauguration activities are driven for such a change as from “a company who sells products and services”, to “Service Platform Company who sells also products”. This change brought about the necessity of changing our Sales Offices toward “Customer Service Centers” which offer wide variety of best services at customers’ sites. Our head office and headquarters of sales has also to change to offer back up services toward the Customer Service Centers so that they can offer quality and satisfactory services in a swift manner.
