  • Annual Report 2006 - As of December 31, 2007�

    Message by the Chairman

    In the calendar year 2007 the Thai Baht continued a trend of appreciation ending the year with a greater than 18% increase against the US dollar over the prior 2 year period. This coupled with the continued downward trend of the global valuation of the US dollar resulted in immense pressure on costs and gross margin in the Company’s domestic and export portfolios. Despite this global turbulence, Management stayed true to the course of investment in people, technology and leading edge manufacturing facilities and equipment. These investments are key to the overall strategy to prepare the Company of leadership, success and profitability Calendar 2007 saw the Company invest in new leapfrog technology in our Battery Operations, Industrial Containers, Logistics and Packaging businesses while working on developing a foot hold in the Beverage Industry. Management is united in its approval of significant investments in these areas with a holistic plan to move away from conventional and commonly used technologies and equipment in order to differentiate the Company by bold moves striking at the core of non-value added activities and costs. In addition to investments in capital technology platforms, the Management united behind a bold move to consolidate the two largest molding operations, Suksawat factory and Amata Nakorn Chonburi factory, into its world class facility in Amata Nakorn. The re-engineering and consolidation initiatives will target eliminating non value added costs, scrap, and under absorption. In conjunction with the focus on elimination of non value added costs, Management is focused on the introduction of high value added products such as Molded in Decoration for food and beverage packaging and automotive applications. Srithai Superware is recognized as a Thai icon, and as befitting the statue of this great company, Management is proud to announce that the center piece of our strategy is increased focus on our shared environment. We have made major investments in leading edge manufacturing equipments from Canada and Japan. Those equipments have the capability to process resin at greatly reduced consumption of electricity. In fact our goal is to create one of the world’s most energy efficient injection molding operations globally. We have engaged

  • Annual Report 2006 - As of December 31, 2007 �

    leaders in the industry to assist us optimizing the molding operations including machine design and operation, mold process cooling, resin processing and product handling. Further to our focus on industrial resource preservation, we have a team researching the preservation of one of Thailand’s most important natural resources from the mounting commercial pressure for pallets. Deforestation is a real issue facing all Thai people, and Srithai proud to be a leader in investing in developing a solution to provide competitively priced plastic products to reduce the need for wooden pallets, boxes and other logistic products. For 45 great years we have been a people company and together we have built great brand equity in Srithai Superware both at home and abroad, however the journey to world class requires that we examine and upgrade in all areas of our businesses to benefit fully from our investments in technology and equipment, we must, and we will invest more in our Srithai people. I am delighted to report that our new Human Resource Developments (HRD) team has been embraced and supported by all Senior Management and the long road to unleashing the power of people is well under way. Our biggest asset is not our Srithai people, it will be our great Srithai people This is a demanding and endless task and the one to which I pledge my utmost support. Great people, great factories, leading technology and equipment are still incomplete if we do not unleash and empower them with the invisible backbone and network of Information Technologies and Communications. Again we are challenged by the breadth of this task, to seamlessly bind Srithai together with real time capability to communicate, plan and execute. Management again unanimously supported embracing investing in making Srithai the easiest company to do business with, with fast accurate and transparent reporting capabilities. Looking outside our company we are now exporting our global brand leading melamine table-wares to nearly 90 countries worldwide. Our continued export drive to reach 100 this year, 2008, is ambitious and now within our reach. This bold goal will bring benefits beyond increased revenues; it creates new skilled jobs for our workers and brings Thailand’s global reach spreading a better understanding for our culture and the quality of Thai products. To support our global leadership, we have increased our production capability in Ho Chi Minh City facility in Vietnam and are now engaged in due diligence with a view to expanding in India to tap the huge domestic market there. Korat is the home of Srithai Superware’s melamine products and success and this plant will receive the same scrutiny as all our other operations. We will invest in people, technology to enhance our productivity and profitability, and similar to Amata we will focus on energy consumption and the environment. Sustainable profitability is a product of excellence in execution and innovation, in this past year we at Srithai have been developing our core Direct Sales capability into a new Multi Level Marketing (MLM) This will expand our sales capability rapidly via the talented and highly motivated independent business owners in the MLM business concept. We have piloted this project this past year and now ready for a full scale launch in Q3 of 2008. Our Trading activities also allow us to rapidly expand, however without the additional burden of the capital intensive manufacturing factories and equipment. Our merchandizing experts source products of exceptional quality, value and unique characteristics from all corners of the world to be locally distributed through our existing distribution channels. The Management and I are grateful to all our stakeholders, our great Srithai people, our partners and suppliers, you our shareholders, and all who support us in our quest for global brand recognition and a world class reputation synonymous with quality and profitability.

    2. NATURE OF BUSINESS

    2.1 COMPANY BACKGROUND Srithai Superware Public Company Limited, “the Company”, initially operated under the name “Srithai Plastic Industry Limited Partnership”. It was found by Mr. Sumit Lertsumitkul on August 1, 1�63, to operate as a manufacturer and distributor of household plasticware. In 1�72, the business was renamed “Srithai Superware Limited Partnership” and the management team was reorganized. Mr. Sanan Angubolkul was appointed as Factory Manager at that time. A new product line, melamine tableware, was added. In 1�7�, the l imited partnership was transformed into a company limited under the name “Srithai Superware Company Limited”, after which the Company kept on expanding. The Company was listed in The Stock Exchange of Thailand on October 2, 1��1, with an increase of registered capital from Baht 170 million to Baht 200 million. The Company was transformed into a public company limited on December 13, 1��3. The Company increased its registered capital again to Baht 470 million on January 14, 1��4, and subsequently to Baht 500 million on March 1�, 1��6, with fully paid-up share capital of Baht 400 million. In July 1��7, under the pressure of economic crisis in the Asia-Pacific region, the Company announced debt restructuring. The Company later agreed with a creditor to file a petition to Court for business reorganization under the bankruptcy law. The Court approved the petition on May 28, 1���, and the reorganization plan on December 30, 1���, by appointing SGV-Na Thalang & Co., Ltd. as plan administrator. In the first quarter of 2000, Srithai Rungruengsaap (1���) Co., Ltd., a subsidiary, was established to hold parts of assets of the Company in line with the

  • Annual Report 2007 - As of December 31, 2007 22

    (c) Competitive Environment Most plastic product producers focus on any one particular area of specialization, and compete only in their niche markets. For instance, producers of household plastic products will only produce household products and not other. There are about 4,000 plastic factories in the country. Mostly they are shop-house factories or household factories with low investment and low technology. Large plastic factories that are able to produce plastic products for supply to businesses and consumers are only handful as it requires large investment, high quality control, and advanced technology. Additionally, brand name is also important in creating creditability among customers, especially for manufacturing of engineering parts which requires high quality and timeliness of delivery. However, plastic resin market had driven up resin prices sharply and continually, resulting in closure of many small plasticware factories. Srithai Superware Group is the leader in plastic industry because our production capacity is as high as 40,000 tons per annum. Srithai operates 3 plastic factories. We have expertise in producing plastic precision parts such as engineering and vehicle parts. Plastic business has high potential to grow in line with economic growth of Thailand. Size of the Company as Compared to Competitors’ The Company cannot compare its size with its competitors because there are thousands of plastic injection factories, medium and small. Therefore, size can be estimated from market shares as follow:- market share battery cases 70% industrial parts 60% Material Handling 50-60% (d) Sourcing of Products or Services (Plastic Business) The Company operates 3 plastic product factories at Suksawat, Amatanakorn Chonburi and Bangpu. The 3 factories are differentiated according to specialized production skills as follows:

    Suksawat Factory Producing small engineering parts i.e. parts of electricity products and vehicle parts etc., household products, and accessories. Amatanakorn Chonburi Factory Producing pallets, bottle crates, container, garbage bin, decorations and industrial parts of big size - i.e. parts of electricity products and vehicle parts etc. Bangpu Factory Producing battery cases. Important raw materials are various types of plastic resin, which are purchased domestically from distributors of many producers. There are no problems about raw material quality or shortage. However, when crude oil price rose, the price of plastic resin also increased. In principle, the Company could also increase sales price of products because there was an arrangement for such increase by taking order from the customers in advance and focusing on OEM business which can reduce risk from price fluctuation of raw materials. The production process does not cause any environmental impacts. (e) Pending Orders Customer-base of the Company is extensive; therefore, the Company did not rely on big customers whose pending orders valued more than 10% of total revenue. (2) Household Products (a) Description of Product or Service Household Products comprise tableware and kitchenware made of melamine powder and beautifully decorated with printed patterns or cartoons characters. They include dish, bowl, rice bowl, ladle, spoon, cup etc. The manufacturing plant received promotional privileges from The Board of Investment. (b) Marketing and Competition Description of Customers distributed by the sale agents and direct sales and export. Credit term Usually credit term of 30 - 150 days is granted to wholesalers. Sales in grand sales event are made in cash and direct sales are also mostly made in cash.

  • Annual Report 2007 - As of December 31, 2007 23

    Competitive Strategy Emphasis is made on high quality product with beautiful decoration and colorful design along with product shapes which are suitable for multi-purpose functions. Distribution Channel Household products have the following distribution channels: Export Sales : 3�.5% Domestic Sales : 60.5% Distributors are Siam Melamine Marketing Co., Ltd. and Srithai Marketing Co., Ltd. They have been our trade partners for a very long time. (c) Competitive Environment Houseware that made of melamine powder which heat resistant up to 100 oC is suitable for manufacturing food container because it is safe for consumer and there are not so many producers in the market. Melamine products of the Company are durable and composed of many beautiful designs, and due to the use of 100% melamine powder thus make the Company’s houseware become popular in the markets both local and abroad. Export markets can be expanded to neighbouring countries and developed countries. The Company is the largest manufacturer of melamine products in Thailand. It has added production base in Vietnam in 2007 in order to reduce production cost and increase competitiveness of the Company Presently the Company is the market leader for household plastic product made of melamine distributed under our 6 brands, i.e. Superware, Vanda, Flowerware, Melamineware, UNICA and Ektra. In Thailand, the Company is the only distributor who deploys a team force of direct sales. Size of the Company as Compared to Competitors’ The Company is biggest in term of market share and production capacity. Our production capacity is 11,000 tons per annum. The second runner-up is Melamine Thai Co., Ltd. with capacity of 1,000 tons per annum, and the third is Malaplast Co., Ltd. with capacity of 700 tons per annum.

    (d) Sourcing of Product or Service The Company produces its household plastic products made of melamine at the factory in Nakorn Rachasrima province, in Suranaree Industrial Estate. Total production capacity is 11,000 tons per year, the largest melamine product producer in Thailand. Production is mainly made to purchase orders from overseas, and to satisfy demand for certain popular designs in the domestic market. Major raw material is melamine powder, almost all purchased from domestic producers, i.e. Thai MFC Co., Ltd., Thai K.K. Co., Ltd. and Matsushita Electric Works (Ayuthaya) Ltd. These companies have maintained good relationship with the Company. There are no problems on quality or shortage of raw material, and the production process causes no environmental impacts. The Company buys melamine powder from Thai MFC Co., Ltd. more than 50% of total purchase. Apart from the standard quality, purchase price is reasonable due to Thai MFC Co., Ltd. being an affiliate. (e) Pending Orders The Company sells to tens of thousands of customers in domestic and export markets, both consumers and distributors. There is no pending order amounted more than 10% of total revenue. “Ektra” products are made of plastic or melamine. It is designed for Metro living people to be in line with the popularity of designed products that are suitable for modern living. This creates the expansion of upper-class customers. Ektra products are popular quite satisfactorily, especially Modern Catering products that are tableware in modern style. The Company sells these products through direct sales, department stores, shops and export market. 2.4.2 Trading Business Line Trading business is a new business line resulting from the restructuring of the Company’s businesses. The purpose of trading business line is to be another source of revenue of the Company in

  • Annual Report 2007 - As of December 31, 2007 24

    addition to the main source of revenue from plastic business and to support the increasing role of the Company’s trading business so that business planning and management could be clarified. Details of trading business and products are as follow:- (a) Description of Product or Service Products categorized under trading business line comprise:- Domestic Products Bedding and cooking utensils. Imported Products Lock & Lock food preservation box imported from Korea, Gadgets used in kitchen and catering under brand names “Albert”, “Broggi”, and “Ghidini” from Italy, tables, sun loungers, and artificial rattan chairs under brand name “Evolutif” and “Kettal” from France and Spain respectively. (b) Marketing and Competition Description of Customer End users and HoReCa business which consists of Hotel , Restaurant, and Catering. Credit term Usually credit term of �0 - 150 days is granted to wholesalers. Sales in grand sales event are made in cash and direct sales are also mostly made in cash. Competitive Strategy Emphasis on products that are high potential in the market and reasonable price as well as are differentiated from existing products locally, and mostly imported. Besides, the Company emphasizes on selling products in full cycle or group of products that can be offered to same group of customers or sell through direct selling system of the Company in order to more approach its target groups of customers. Distribution Channel Partly distributed through sale agents and distributed through direct selling to consumers. (c) Competitive Environment The Company committed itself to pick up products of high quality and popularity to be distributed to customers. We also do the market

    survey in order to pick up the right product that could satisfy the customer. We continually launch marketing and sales activit ies. Moreover, distribution channels of the Company - sales agents, direct sales, and department stores allow recognition and make easy access to our product for consumers. As a result, our products become well-known and accepted among customers, and have high potential to be the products of common use and to gain more sales in the future. Anyway, the Company carefully studied products and market in order to avoid unnecessary risk and competition. Besides, trading business does not require large investment. If any product is not lucrative or not welcome by consumers, the Company could give up distribution of that product with very little impact. It is a good point of this type of business.

    Size of the Company as Compared to Competitors’ The Company cannot compare size of trading business with its competitors’ because there are many types of products and of different applications. Therefore, there are many competitors of many sizes. Besides, trading business of the Company is at its early stage so that the Company could not evaluate market condition of each product and determine market share. (d) Sourcing of Products or Services The Company procures products from both local and international sources. The Company does not face product shortage problem eventhough most products are popular and well-accepted among customers since the Company has had good relationship with the manufacturers.

    (e) Pending Orders The Company distributed products to various types of customers - i.e. end users, retailers, sales agents and HoReCa (Hotel, Restaurant, and Catering). In addition, revenue proportion of trading business in the year 2007 is still small as compared to total revenue of the Company. Therefore, there is no pending order amounted more than 10% of total revenue.

    2.4.3 Other Business Other business line comprises mould-making business which is supporting plastic business, and other businesses other than plastic business and trading business as following:- (1) Mould-Making Business The Company does not itself make moulds for sale to outsiders. Mould-making business has been operated by our subsidiaries, namely Srithai Miyagawa Co., Ltd. and Srithai Moulds Co., Ltd. Both companies are leaders in this business. Their products are supplied to automobile industry, electrical appliance industry and toiletry products which require very high precision of injected parts. Srithai Shin-Osaka Co., Ltd., another company in Srithai Group, has been providing mould laminating business. (a) Description of Product or Service It is a hire-of-work to make moulds for plastic injection or melamine compression as per designs and sizes described by clients, including mould repair services. (b) Marketing and Competition Plastic Injection molding business still expands continuously due to other manufacturers trying to reduce cost by switching raw materials from metal to plastic. This includes automobile parts industry, electrical appliance industry, toiletry industry, etc., thus enables plastic injection molding business to expand greatly in Thailand. Meanwhile, both Thai and foreign investors are interested in plastic injection molding business more and more, from small-scale enterprise investing THB 5 million to large-scale enterprise investing more than THB 100 million. Computer software and modern machines help increase efficiency of production of molds greatly. Enterprise has provided and developed personnel who can use computer software and modern machines efficiently in order to reduce production cost and can be competitive in mold industry. However, at present manufacturers of molds in the Republic of Korea, Taiwan, and China are competing with each other

    strongly in offering lower price to customers eventhough there was problem about quality. Due to high competition in some industry such as electrical appliances, the manufacturers prefer using molds offered at lower prices. Small enterprises in Thailand are increasing their competitiveness in producing small-sized molds. Therefore, mold makers should compete with themselves in increasing the competitiveness in producing injection molds that are more complicated and reduce production cost. (c) Status and Competitiveness Molds that are use for producing automobile parts, electrical appliances and toiletry products must be high quality molds in order to get nice and durable products and can be competitive in the market. At present, Srithai Miyakawa Co., Ltd. and Srithai Mold Co., Ltd. have provided machines with computer software and other modern equipments to produce plastic injection 200-300 molds per year for total value of THB 200-300 million. Customers are confident in these two mold-makers and lire them. In 2007 production capacity of the two companies were not at full scale throughout the year due to higher competition in pricing. However, both companies have tried to reduce cost in order to increase ability of price competitiveness. Size of the Company as Compared to Competitors’ Srithai Miyagawa Co., Ltd. has invested in tools, machinery and man-power to be able to make moulds of weight 200 kgs. up to 5,000 kgs., whereas Srithai Moulds Co., Ltd. can make large mould of weight up to 10,000 kgs. There are about 50 competitors of the same size with us. However, those competitors have special skill in different areas of products. As a result, competition is not so high. (d) Sourcing of Product or Service (Mould-Making Business) Iron ingot is the raw material of mould-making. There are many import agents for iron ingots in Thailand. Hence, competition among those

  • Annual Report 2007 - As of December 31, 2007 26

    import agents is high. Mould-making companies of ours can then procure iron ingots easily without shortage of supply. (e) Pending Orders As at December 31, 2007, Srithai Miyakawa Co., Ltd. and Srithai Shin-Osaka Co., Ltd. showed that their work to be submitted to customers were not more than 10% of total income but Srithai Mold Co., Ltd. contained work that had not been submitted to customers more than 10% of its total revenue due to the need of more time for production and its order coming at the end of 2007. Such pending work is expected to deliver to customers within 2-3 months. (2) Other Businesses (a) Description of Product or Service S.K.I. Ceramics Co., Ltd. Manufacturing ceramic tablewares. Srithai Packaging Co., Ltd. Manufacturing paper box for industrial users. LN Srithai Comm Co., Ltd. Manufacturing telephone equipments, both with cord and cordless, and switching board. (b) Marketing, Competition, and Competitive Environment S.K.I. Ceramics Co., Ltd. Very high competition in business. Products of the company are exported to U.S.A. and Japan under brand names of customers. Besides, the company has sold ceramic products under “Miyako” Brand for local customers in order to increase sales channels for the company. Srithai Packaging Co., Ltd. Facing strong competition. However, it can retain a group of loyal customers with its quality and service, so there is no problem.

    LN Srithai Comm Co., Ltd. Most of its products are for export. Major customer is the parent company in Korea. The company acts as a production base for the parent company. (c) Sourcing of Product or Service S.K.I. Ceramics Co., Ltd. Major raw materials are clay which are purchased from both local trader and abroad; stickers and coating solution which are purchased from a shareholder, Iwatani International Corporation (Osaka). There is no raw material shortage problem. Srithai Packaging Co., Ltd. Major raw materials are card board and craft paper, which are all purchased from domestic suppliers. Sometimes price of paper pulp rises, causing price of paper to increase to some extent. There is no problem of raw material shortage. LN Srithai Comm Co., Ltd. Major raw materials are IC and electronics parts imported from overseas distributors. There is no raw material shortage problem as these products are generally available. Plastic components are outsourced from local plastic injection factories. Since there are so many plastic injection factories, there is no problem of shortage of supplier. (d) Pending Orders S.K.I. Ceramics Co., Ltd., Srithai Packaging Co., Ltd., and LN Srithai Comm Co., Ltd. had no pending order valued more than 10% of total revenue.
