LIQUID crystal display (LCD) manufacturer Varitronix International will increase profit growth by raising its production capacity in the next three years.
Unlike other LCD manufacturers in Hong Kong and China, Varitronix provides custom-made equipment for industrial use.
These orders are usually smaller, but of high value - allowing more substantial operating margins than LCD orders for consumer use.
The company has factories at Shawan and Heyuan in China.
With the completion of the Heyuan factory, front-end production processes such as component manufacturing and assembly were transferred from Shawan, representing 50 per cent of the new plant's capacity. Back-end production processes, such as testing and packaging, are still carried out in Shawan.
Hong Kong facilities account for 50 per cent of the company's output, Malaysia 15 per cent and China the rest.
