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

 

Paxar (China) Ltd., trading as Paxar Far East – Europe Division, is engaged in printing of labels and packaging materials.

 

The subject formerly was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Ferguson International PLC [Ferguson], the United Kingdom.  On 9th March, 1999, it became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Paxar Far East Ltd., a Hong Kong-registered company which was in turn a subsidiary of Paxar Corporation [Paxar], a listed company in the United States.  However, Paxar was acquired by Avery Dennison Corporation [Company/Avery Dennison], a publicly listed company in the United States.

 

Now, the subject is still a wholly-owned subsidiary of Paxar Far East Ltd. and its intermediate holding is still Paxar.

 

The subject is a marketing office of the products for the Avery Dennison Group.

 

Now, the subject has had an associated company in Hong Kong known as Avery Dennison (Hong Kong) Ltd. located at a different address.

 

Avery Dennison was incorporated in 1977 in the state of Delaware as Avery International Corporation [Avery], the successor corporation to a California corporation of the same name that had been incorporated in 1946.  In 1990, Avery merged one of its subsidiaries into Dennison Manufacturing Company [Dennison], as a result of which Dennison became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Avery and in connection with which Avery’s name was changed to Avery Dennison.

 

Avery Dennison’s businesses include the production of pressure-sensitive materials, office and consumer products and a variety of tickets, tags, labels and other converted products.  Some pressure-sensitive materials are sold to label printers and converters that “convert” the materials into labels and other products through embossing, printing, stamping and die-cutting.  Some are sold by it in converted form as printable media, tapes and reflective sheeting.  Avery Dennison also manufactures and sells a variety of office and consumer products, other converted products and items not involving pressure-sensitive components, such as binders, organizing systems, markers, fasteners, business forms, as well as tickets, tags, radio-frequency identification [RFID] inlays and labels, and imprinting equipment and related services for retail and apparel manufacturers.

 

Now Avery Dennison is a global leader in labelling and packaging materials and solutions.  With operations in more than 50 countries and 30,000 employees worldwide, Avery Dennison serves customers with insights and innovations that help make brands more inspiring and the world more intelligent.

 

Avery Dennison Corporation (NYSE: AVY) is a Fortune 500® company which is based in Pasadena, California, the United States.

 

Avery Dennison Group’s reporting segments are: Pressure-sensitive Materials; Retail Information Services; and Office and Consumer Products.  In addition to its reporting segments, the Group has other specialty converting businesses comprised of several businesses that produce specialty tapes and highly engineered labels including RFID inlays and labels, and other converted products.

 

The Group’s products are classified into the following categories:-

  • Cable Ties (Nylon);
  • Elastic “Staple™” Systems;
  • Hand Labellers and Labels;
  • Plastic Staple Attacher; &
  • Tag Attaching Fasteners.

 

In 2008, the Group completed the acquisition of DM Label Group [DM Label], a manufacturer of labels, tags and tickets for retail and apparel applications, including woven labels.

 

As of 3rd January, 2015, the Group operated about 35 principal manufacturing facilities in excess of 100,000 sq.ft.  Its reportable segments in 2014 were:

 

  • Pressure-sensitive Materials [PSM];
  • Retail Branding and Information Solutions [RBIS]; and
  • Vancive Medical Technologies™ [Vancive].

 

In 2014, the PSM and RBIS segments contributed approximately 74% and 25%, respectively, of its total sales.

 

In 2014, international operations constituted a substantial majority of its business, representing approximately 76% of its sales.  As of 3rd January, 2015, the Group operated approximately 180 manufacturing and distribution facilities worldwide, employed over 25,000 persons, and had operations in over 50 countries.

 

In 2014, the net sales of the Avery Dennison Group amounted to US$6,330.3 million (2013: US$6,140.0 million), grew by 3.1%.  Net income for the year was US$248.9 million (2013: US$215.8 million), grew by 15.3%.

 

For the 6 months end 4th July, 2015, the net sales of the Group amounted to US$3,044.0 million (6 months ended 28-06-2014: US$3,165.9 million); net income was US$134.9 million (6 months ended 28-06-2014: US$113.7 million).  The Group predicts that it will make a profit in FY 2015 and will be slightly more than that of 2014.

 

In the first six months of 2015, sales in its Pressure-sensitive Materials segment decreased approximately 4% compared to the same period last year, reflecting the unfavourable impact of foreign currency translation, partially offset by higher sales on an organic basis, and the impact of the extra week in its prior fiscal year.  On an organic basis, sales increased approximately 5% due to higher volume and improved product mix.  On an organic basis, sales increased at a mid-single digit rate in both Western Europe and in emerging markets, and at a low-single digit rate in North America.

 

The Group serves customers with insights and innovations that help make brands more inspiring and the world more intelligent. Headquartered in Pasadena, California, the United States, the Group has associated companies in most countries of the world.

 

The subject is fully supported by the Avery Dennison Group.  History in Hong Kong is over thirty-seven years and four months.

 

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