Development Plan
Lockset and Hardware
We have designed new style latches and prepared to apply for national patent.
The equipment for producing cylinder has been renewed and the precision for lockset making is improved.
Build a Zinc alloy die-casting base.(It have been started.)
Develop OB and other lock finishes.
Add assembly line to increase the capacity of lockset production to 5,000,000,000 sets per year.
Pressure Gauge
Develop process center to improve the ability of mould development and pressure gauge machining process.
Build dust-free workshop to produce dust-free pressure gauge.
Use laser welding machine to improve the quality and increase the speed of stainless steel gauge welding.
Build assembly line for stainless steel pressure gauge to improve the quality and increase production efficiency.
Apply for be UL manufacturer approval.
Build general gauge socket production base.( To be finished before Oct. 2006)
Develop SS tubes with new techniques, equipment and process.
Recruit new engineers the quantity of technical staff to develop low pressure gauge, diaphragm seal gauge, pressure transform, electric contact pressure gauge.
Domestic Sales: Based on SS bourdon tube and special gauge, we will strengthen the sales development and expand our share of the market.
Others
Develop salt test device and other laboratory equipment to improve the level of measure test.
The ERP system will be consummated to strengthen accounting and control cost.
