Outlook 2022: Cautiously Optimistic

==> picture [74 x 74] intentionally omitted <==

  • COVID-19 has limited impact on the operation of the Company in 2021, and we will keep monitoring the influence in the future.

 With Taiwan government’s continuous promotion of Foresight Project, the growth in public infrastructure is foreseeable. Demand for commercial building is expected to increase significantly due to the return of oversea Taiwanese business, foreign investment and relocation of farming land and factories. Residential building is expected to face increasing demand as a result of newly established factories in the vicinity. In light of factors above along with promotion of Urban Renewal Plan for Unsafe and old building, the overall sales is expected to see a growth.

 The new production line of Luzhu Gypsum Board plant and second production line from Dahu RMC plant will be ready to contribute its production capacity in 3Q22.
