Research and Development Team

FineTek's R&D team has been dedicated to design new products these few years, enhance product functionality and also to explore new series of control instruments in order to satisfy the growing demands of the market. Each year, NT$30 million has been invested in R&D and there have been significant results like: Magnetostrictive Level Indicator, Programmable Microprocessor Panel Meter, Temperature Controller, Power Meter, VA Meter, Programmable Speed Monitor, Vibrators and Sequential Controller. In average, there are at least 3 series of new products per year, thus improving customer service and also to capture a larger market share than before.

Presently, the R&D team has been aggressively developing high technology level controls and systems integrations, examples are: Warehouse / Oil tanks usage recorders, Ultrasonic Level Measurement, Radar Level Measurement, Precision Positioning Indicators, Flow Meters and others high technology and value added products.

Expansion Plan

Due to the improvement of expertise level and sales volume, the production facilities must also expand in order to accommodate more efficient and precise equipment so as to reduce costs. To expand market share, we must also expand our Taipei's production plant. Similarly, our China branch has been growing at more than 50% every year for the past 3 years, so the present production plant is not big enough to support the growth. Thus, we are presently building a 3600m² manufacturing plant and it is expected to be finished in August, 2003. The new plant has capacity for upgrading, should FineTek face space shortage in the future, it is possible to shift it's production of lower technology products to China to lower costs and enhance product's competitiveness.

(1)Future plans includes setting up of branches in overseas markets like Europe and USA. If opportunity presents itself, FineTek may co-operate with other corporations or buy over related corporations in order to continue expansion of market share and to widen the gap between our competitors so as to remain in business.

(2)Public listing is our immediate objective.
