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 has no tariffs on imported goods, and it levies excise duties on only four commodities, whether imported or produced locally: hard alcohol, tobacco, hydrocarbon oil, and methyl alcohol. There are no quotas or dumping laws. 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, its continued reliance on foreign trade and investment leaves it vulnerable to renewed global financial market volatility or a slowdown in the global economy. 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 12.5% of total system deposits in Hong Kong by the end of 2014. 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 total trade 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 47.3 million in 2014, 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 2014 mainland Chinese companies constituted about 50% of the firms listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and accounted for about 60.1% 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. Credit expansion and tight housing supply conditions have caused Hong Kong property prices to rise rapidly; consumer prices increased by more than 4.4% in 2014. 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. In 2014, Hong Kong and China signed a new agreement on achieving basic liberalization of trade in services in Guangdong Province under the Closer Economic Partnership Agreement, adopted in 2003 to forge closer ties between Hong Kong and the mainland. The new measures, effective from March 2015, cover a negative list and a most-favored treatment provision, and will improve access to the mainland's service sector for Hong Kong-based companies.

GENERAL

 

Mainetti (HK) Ltd. was incorporated in September 1992 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Mainetti (Far East) Ltd. which is a Hong Kong-based firm located at the same operating address as the subject.

The subject has another business name A&E Products (Far East) Co. which is located at the same address.

The subject in fact is a member of the Mainetti Group which is an Italy-based company.

Mainetti Group is mainly engaged in manufacturing various kinds of garment hangers.  Major markets are Europe and the United States.  Some of the products are also exported to the Philippines, Indonesia, Thailand, South Korea and also marketed in China.  Its production facilities in China are in Shenzhen Special Economic Zone and Shanghai.  The brand names of the commodities are “Mainetti”, “Pendy” and “Red Wing”.  In 2006, the subject acquired new brands, namely, “A & E”, “RANDY”.

The origins of Mainetti S.p.A. stem from Northern Italy.  It was founded in May 1961 by the Mainetti brothers – Gianni, Luigi, Romeo and Mario.  Today, Mario is Chairman of Mainetti Tecnologie S.p.A., the Group’s designing centre.  Mainetti Tecnologie was founded in 1996.  Now, the Group has offices and factories in The Netherlands, Italy, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Belgium, Spain, Portugal, Romania, Canada, the United States, Singapore, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, India, Hong Kong, China, etc.

In 1996, Mainetti acquired Pendy Plastic Products [Pendy], the garment hanger manufacturing division of Ferguson International Holdings plc, which gave the Mainetti Group access to new manufacturing techniques and production facilities worldwide.

In 1981, Pendy became part of Ferguson International Holdings plc.  Initially in 1987, demand for garment hangers in China was satisfied by exporting hangers to Hong Kong for mainland distribution.  The operation was handled by Actual Printraders Ltd. which was incorporated in Hong Kong on 9th May, 1986.  By 1989, Actual Printraders Ltd. was replaced by Mainetti’s office in Hong Kong and manufacturing facilities in Shenzhen, Southern China.  Mainetti’s office changed name to Pendy Plastic Products (Far East) Ltd. on 20th July, 1989.  After the acquisition by Mainetti, Pendy Plastic Products (Far East) Ltd. changed name to Ferguson USA Ltd. on 22nd August, 1996.  Since then, all its activities have been taken over by Pendy Plastic Products (Far East) Company, a division of the subject established on 8th May, 1996, and Pendy Plastic Products China Ltd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the subject set up on 8th August, 1996, respectively.

As garment manufacturing in China continues to grow, Mainetti added a production base in Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province, China.  The Suzhou factory is known as Suzhou Mainetti Plastic Products Ltd.  This company has set up an office in Shanghai, China.

Mainetti’s client list includes a wide range from Nike and Old Navy to Prada and Hugo Boss.  Besides, the following firms are the main clients of Mainetti: E5-Mode, EAST, Eddie Bauer, Eden – Park, EWM, Eleganze, elena miro, ELLE, ELLEN TRACY, ellesse, emanuel ungaro, emmezeta, emozioni, EMPORIO-ARMANI, ENRGIE, ENRICO COVERI, EMRECO, ERDOS, GRUPO EROSKI, ERLIVIA, ESCADA, Etam ETRO, Evans, EVEDEN, EXPRESS, etc.

The Shenzhen factory is able to produce 600 to 700 million hangers a year and increase the Mainetti’s overall production capacity in Asia by 25%.

The investment for the Shenzhen facility was US$15 million.

The wooden hanger factory of Mainetti is able to produce over 10 million hangers a year.  Most of the products from the Shenzhen and Suzhou factories are exported to North America, Europe, etc.

In recent years, Mainetti has set up a new department known as Techstar Packaging & Labels.  These businesses are handled by Techstar Packaging (HK) Ltd. and Techstar Packaging (Far East) Ltd., both companies are registered in Hong Kong.  Techstar has a factory in Dongguan City, Guangdong Province, China which covers an area of over 200,000 sq.ft.  The factory is ISO9001 and ISO14001 certified and is engaged in manufacturing a wide range of shrouds, display bags, zip lock bags, non-woven bags and other packaging items for the garment industry and retailers throughout Europe and the United States.  Techstar factory also supplies a number of non-garment related global blue-chip organisations for their operations in China and Hong Kong.

Mainetti, which is owned by the Mainetti and Chandaria families, now has operations in about 50 countries.

The consolidated annual turnover of the Mainetti Group is very significant.

The subject is fully supported by the Group.

Mr. Tai Lun Paul is the Managing Director of the subject, and he is also the Chief Executive Officer of Mainetti Plastic Products (Shenzhen) Ltd.

The history of the subject is over 23 years and two months.

On the whole, in view of the parentage and background of the subject, consider it good for normal business engagements.
