Hong Kong - ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

Hong Kong has a free market economy, highly dependent on international trade and finance - the value of goods and services trade, including the sizable share of re-exports, is about four times GDP. Hong Kong's open economy left it exposed to the global economic slowdown that began in 2008. Although increasing integration with China, through trade, tourism, and financial links, helped it to make an initial recovery more quickly than many observers anticipated, it again faces a possible slowdown as exports to the Euro zone and US slump. The Hong Kong government is promoting the Special Administrative Region (SAR) as the site for Chinese renminbi (RMB) internationalization. Hong Kong residents are allowed to establish RMB-denominated savings accounts; RMB-denominated corporate and Chinese government bonds have been issued in Hong Kong; and RMB trade settlement is allowed. The territory far exceeded the RMB conversion quota set by Beijing for trade settlements in 2010 due to the growth of earnings from exports to the mainland. RMB deposits grew to roughly 7.8% of total system deposits in Hong Kong by the end of 2011, an increase of over 59% since the beginning of the year. The government is pursuing efforts to introduce additional use of RMB in Hong Kong financial markets and is seeking to expand the RMB quota. The mainland has long been Hong Kong's largest trading partner, accounting for about half of Hong Kong's exports by value. Hong Kong's natural resources are limited, and food and raw materials must be imported. As a result of China's easing of travel restrictions, the number of mainland tourists to the territory has surged from 4.5 million in 2001 to 28 million in 2011, outnumbering visitors from all other countries combined. Hong Kong has also established itself as the premier stock market for Chinese firms seeking to list abroad. In 2011 mainland Chinese companies constituted about 43% of the firms listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and accounted for about 56% of the Exchange's market capitalization. During the past decade, as Hong Kong's manufacturing industry moved to the mainland, its service industry has grown rapidly. Growth slowed to 5% in 2011. Credit expansion and tight housing supply conditions caused Hong Kong property prices to rise rapidly in 2010 and inflation to rise 5.3% in 2011. Lower and middle income segments of the population are increasingly unable to afford adequate housing. Hong Kong continues to link its currency closely to the US dollar, maintaining an arrangement established in 1983.

GENERAL

 

Sacmi Hong Kong Ltd. is a wholly-owned subsidiary of H.P.S. S.p.A. [HPS] which is an Italy-based firm.  The ultimate holding company Sacmi Imola S.C. [Sacmi Imola] is also an Italy-based firm.  The subject is a member of the Sacmi Group.

The subject, through its representative offices in China and Vietnam (Hanoi and Hochiminh), is promoting sales, marketing and after-sales services for and on behalf of the parent company — Sacmi Imola which is a leading manufacturer of machinery and complete plants for ceramic tiles, sanitary ware, tableware and refractory industries, as well as closure, filling, labelling and packing industries.

The subject’s services, including also the technical and technological assistance to assembly and start-up and original Sacmi spare parts warehouse, are mainly carried out in China, Vietnam, Japan, South Korea and Taiwan.  Maintenance, technological assistance and after-sales are provided through the workshop and the laboratory of the Foshan office, Guangdong Province, China which now has about 160 employees working in a facility of 2,500 sq.m.

The Foshan office is formally known as Sacmi Hong Kong Ltd. Foshan Commercial Branch.  Another firm known as Sacmi Machinery (Foshan Nanhai) Co. Ltd. which is also a member of the Sacmi Group is also located at the Foshan office.

The subject is engaged in providing customers with after-sales services in China.  It has set up representative offices in Hanoi and Hochiminh of Vietnam, besides the Foshan office.

The Group also has set up a company in Shanghai known as Sacmi (Shanghai) Machinery Equipment Co. Ltd..

The Group’s Foshan company has then become the headquarter for the Ceramic field while Shanghai is the headquarter for the Packaging field.

The subject is the regional office of Sacmi Group and the parent company is Sacmi Imola.  Sacmi Imola was founded in 1919 and its activities include complete turn-key plants for ceramic tiles, sanitary ware, tableware, refractory and packaging fields, including machinery manufacturing, complete plants supply, spare parts production and supply, technical/technological assistance and know-how.

While the Group’s core business has traditionally been – and remains – the design and construction of machines and complete plants for the ceramic industry, Sacmi has steadily branched out into other areas and now has four operating divisions, consisting of companies specialised in cutting-edge technologies:-

·         Ceramics;

Beverage and Packaging;

Food Processing and Inspection Systems; &

Plastics.

The headquarter, with the main workshop, ceramic and packaging research labs in Sacmi Imola, have employed about 1,000 staff.  Thousands of Sacmi machine are in use all over the world and exports account for around 85% of the Group’s total business.

Sacmi Imola is an international group manufacturing machines and complete plants for the Ceramics, Beverage and Packaging, Processing and Plastics industries – markets in which it is a recognized worldwide leader.  The strengths of both sides of the business lie in the application of innovative technology, the well-established position the Group holds on international markets and its commitment to research in order to ensure consistent top quality and service to the clients.

The 2011 Group balance sheet shows total sales of €1,303 million, representing an increase of 26.5% as compared with €1,030 million in FY 2010.  Its EBIT was €124 million, grew by 69.9% as compared with €73 million in FY 2010.

The year 2011 was positive for the Sacmi Group.  This was despite the Italian macro economy remaining in recession and financial pressure causing firms widespread difficulties.  The improvement in revenues and margins was in part due to the major rationalisation and restructuring work that has been undertaken in recent years and continued in 2011.

Sacmi’s ceramics sector, grew considerably in 2011, by 40% at Group level and 50% in Sacmi Imola.  The leading areas were the BRIC countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China), together with Iran, Italy and Turkey.  As regards the restructuring of the ceramics business, events such as the acquisition of Nuova Fima and the creation of Intesa, company for the decoration development, have placed the Group in a position to offer complete vision systems for tiles, and digital printing machines.

The Sacmi Group has production plants, distribution companies and service companies in 26 countries, and the parent company in Imola (Bologna, Italy) now controls over 70 firms via the holding company HPS.

For the year ended 2011, Sacmi Group has 3,963 employees (2010: 3,795 employees) in 82 companies and more than 3,000 clients all over the world.  In 2011, the total net worth of the Group stood at €572 million.

The subject is fully supported by the Sacmi Group.

On the whole, consider it good for normal business engagements.
