Press Release Increased Power Output, Reduced Power Consumption the Trend Hong Kong, 6 October 2003 We have invested significantly in advanced machinery, and we source high-quality critical materials such as steel cores, insulation tapes and wires from China. Our well-experienced engineering team and a strong R&D team enable us to develop new products in a shorter time, and hence to expand our market share in Europe and North America for ODM projects. Power supply products manufactured by Standard Success are applicable for information technology; telecommunications products; audio/ visual products; personal electronics; multimedia products; security products; office automation and equipment; home appliances; electronic toys and games; lighting products; and medical devices. We see a trend in the development of toroidal transformers for larger output power in more compact size. The challenges are on the technology level, as well as on price. This is true for both the toroidal and power transformer markets. Reduced power consumption is important, especially because switching power transformers are becoming more and more popular. Besides, a transformer used in audio/ video products and other large electric equipment is also following the same trend. We rely mainly on its Web site for the marketing of its products. For future growth, we will increase our exposure at major international exhibitions and trade fairs.

The other major market destination is the United States. With competition heating up from mainland China, profit margins are plunging. This is especially so because the product is mature and hence there is not much room for innovation. Little variation is possible in features, design and packaging, or even level of quality. We can compete only in terms of price, which specializes in OEM/ODM models. The company also makes AC/DC adapters, power transformers, ballasts and battery chargers.

Household electronic appliances and audio equipment are the chief demand drivers for adapters. Demand from IT applications is also on the rise. Product trend is toward switched mode ac/dc adapters, and smaller sizes with high power rating. And also, demand for linear adapters continues to be steady, but the technology is mature. Most improvements in this segment are aimed at decreasing production costs. Exports are a significant revenue source, with Europe emerging as a key destination for local adapter manufacturers. Subsequently, makers are actively acquiring international safety approvals such as UL, GS, CE, and others. Apart from safety certifications, many local makers also adhere to environmental regulations. We have acquired the ISO14000 from the Hong Kong Quality Assurance Association. It means we follow certain environment-friendly practices, like use of recycled materials in packaging. The sluggish economy and stiff competition are pushing adapter quotes down. Company reduced prices by about 10 percent in the past year. However, quotes are expected to go steady in the next few months. URL: http://www.std-success.com.hk |
