  1. Implementing strategic transfers of production bases for mature products among group companies to regions with a competitive advantage in labor and electricity costs, aiming to reduce overall production costs. E.g., SCK+TVR revenue accounts for 40%.

  2. Continuously optimizing the yield of SMD surface-mount products and introducing foreign labor to achieve a reduction in labor costs.

  3. Lowering overall production costs for SENSOR products, which are highly customized, through material system integration, process automation, and relocation to regions with lower labor costs.

External Expansion:

  1. Sustaining growth in the export market and targeting an increase in revenue share from exports to 40% from the current 25%.

  2. Enhancing capacity utilization to effectively reduce depreciation and fixed amortization costs.

Growth Strategy – Products Development

 Comparison of PPTC and CPTC

==> picture [657 x 217] intentionally omitted <==

For PPTC, its faster response time and lower power consumption meet the market trend of energy saving. It also helps customers reduce cost and increase their design flexibility. Therefore, THINKING plans to promote PPTC more.

26

 Comparison of TVS Diode and Other Over-voltage Protection Components

==> picture [648 x 211] intentionally omitted <==

TVS diode provides better over-voltage protection because of its accurate varistor tolerance and low residual voltage. Its low capacitance also makes it a recommended ESD suppressor. Consequently, THINKING promotes TVS diodes for over-voltage protection.
