GENERAL

 

Planwell Trading Ltd. was set up in August 1993.  It is a 75% owned subsidiary of Braunsberger Holding GmbH, an Austria-based firm.  The other 25% is owned by Tongoa Ltd. [Tongoa], a Hong Kong-registered firm.

Formerly the subject was owned by Braunsberger Holding AG of Austria, holding 75% interests, and Tongoa, holding 25%.  Since 25th February, 1997, it had become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ho Cheong Holdings Ltd. [Ho Cheong], a Hong Kong-registered firm which was incorporated in September 1996.  However, Ho Cheong was dissolved by deregistration on 12th August, 2005.  Since then, the subject has been reshuffled and the present shareholding structure has taken shape.

The headquarters of Braunsberger Holding AG are in Steyr, Austria.  This firm is a service and financing enterprise and serves as a holding company for many companies.  It is also the parent company of e-power GmbH which is a company engaged in the development of wind and solar power.

The subject is trading in furniture, household items and premium goods.  Prime markets are Europe and some Asian countries.

Currently, the subject is manufacturing the following commodities:-

Furniture – Knockdown, Western Style

From China, Taiwan, Indonesia and Thailand

Furniture – Rattan and Cane

Include willow from China and Malaysia

Basket – Rattan

With its base in Hong Kong, the subject sources commodities in Southeast Asia, China and other Asian countries.  Main items include rattan/cane furniture, knock-down wooden and metal furniture, garden furniture, willow products, small household items, seasonal gifts for Christmas, etc.

The subject has close business ties with the firms in Austria.  It was reported that most of subject’s furniture had been re-exported to Austria.

According to the subject, it has encouraged many European retailers in the business of furniture, house ware, carpets and home textiles to buy from the Asian market directly.  The subject offers importing services like an European importer.

The subject offers clients with the following services:-

  • Periodical trip to the customers in Europe
  • Full detailed offers, including digital pictures
  • Samples sent to merchandiser if requested and available
  • Constant quality control by staff and agents
  • Responsible for the risks of production and export
  • Financing and insurance
  • Handling of all documents for import, export and shipping
  • Term of delivery is DDU, if wanted also CIF or DDP possible
  • Payment only after delivery

The subject’s business is chiefly handled by Ms. Nina Chan Mei Li who is the Office Manager.  Nina Chan is a Hongkongnese.

The subject is fully supported by its holding company Braunsberger Holding GmbH in Austria.  Braunsberger Holding GmbH has had a number of subsidiaries in Europe while the subject is one of them.

Since the history of the subject in Hong Kong is over seventeen years and nine months, on the whole, consider it good for normal business engagements.
