During October 2022, as part of our efforts to control our operating cost and enhance the quality of our locksets, we acquired an electro-plating production line. We believe that this acquisition will also help us to upgrade our existing production line and strengthen our ability to comply with stricter environmental protection laws and regulations in China. In addition, we plan to accelerate our plan to develop smart home products and are exploring the development of products that complement our know-how in the design and production of affordable high-quality locksets.
We are also committed to expanding our footprint into new home security markets. We have already conducted business visits to North America to strengthen our relationship with existing customers and to develop new distributors and volume buyers for our products. Our plan is to identify and penetrate markets that are a good fit for our products including, but not limited to, North America, Southeast Asia and Australia.
On behalf of our dedicated management team and employees, I would like to thank you for your trust and support over this past year. We are excited by our business prospects in 2023 and look forward to your continued support!
Sincerely,
Mr. Bong Lau
