COMMENT

 

The  company  was  set  up   for  a  producer  of  copper  cathode  which  it  is  the  first  of  its  kind  in  the  country.   

 

The company  enjoys  an  advantage  over  imported  copper  products  in  terms of  faster  lead  tine  for  delivery,  secure  supply  and  maintain  minimum  stock  to  TCI’s  major  target  customers  who  are  based  in  Thailand.

 

The  products  has been  used  in  electrical  wire  and  cable  industry,  automobile  industry  and  electrical  equipment  industry. 

 

At present, demand of copper cathode uses in wiring industry have significantly grown,  local wire producers have imported the copper from overseas which demand has been increased each year. The future prospect for such industry would highly to the company’s benefit in the long term.

 

The  company’s products  have  alleviated  the  supply  stress  to  a  certain  degree  and  can  substitute  imported  products.  The  benign  environment  has  brightened  subject’s  market  prospect.
