The Group has also served a number of well-established retail chains such as Nirwana, TF Value-Mart, BS Group and Sabasun. To establish the reputation and enhance the market penetration, Swang Chai Chuan is committed to offering a wide range of products under different brands to customers with timely delivery service. At the same time, the Group has received awards and recognitions by Malaysian associations in recognition of the excellent product and services, such as the Superbrands Status and the Sin Chew Business Excellence Awards.Strong sourcing network and long-term relationship with recognised international and domestic brand ownersThe Group distributed and actively managed the diverse portfolio of F&B and other brands of a wide selection of quality products covering 4,000 SKUs, which can be divided into nine different core categories, namely dairy products, frozen food, packaged food and commodities, sauce, oil and condiments, beverages and specialty products, personal and baby care products, pet care products and cleaning and kitchen supplies. The Group has established long-term business relationship ranging from approximately 5 to 26 years with its five largest suppliers to date, thus enabling the Group to ensure a stable supply of products.Since 2007, the Group started tapping into the development of certain Own-Brand Products, the variety of which was gradually expanded. The Group was able to provide different choices of F&B and other products to the customers under over 200 Third-Party Brands, consisting of approximately 140 international brands and approximately 80 domestic brands, together with products under five major Own Brands, such as CED, Mega Fresh, Mega Food, Sayangku and Snowcat, covering various product types and price ranges. Specialty products, salt, frozen seafood, frozen meat, and pet care products, etc. under the major Own Brands further enlarged the brand and product portfolio and consumer base of the Group. The Group will continue to explore new brands and products that are expected to have growth potential and to diversify the product offerings.Large and diverse customer base with a strong focus on large retail chains and channelsThe Group has established and maintained a large customer base with more than 11,000 active customers over the years with a focus on well-established retail chains. Many of the Group's customers are established international retail chains and local retail chains which make purchases frequently and in huge quantities.

As at 30 April 2022, the Group had established long-term business relationship with the five largest customers during the track record period ranging from approximately 11 to 26 years. The Group achieved high customer retention rate with revenue generated from repeat customer accounts contributing over 90% of the total revenue during the track record period. With the large and diverse customer base as illustrated above, the increasing scale and complexity of the customers' business operation have driven demand for F&B products sourced from suppliers that scale up the procurement and other business activities, thereby growing the revenue. The Group also enjoys economies of scale and continues to optimise its cost structure and increase its profitability.Expansive distribution network is strategically located and well equipped with temperature-controlled facilitiesThe Group's distribution network, which form the cornerstone of warehousing and logistics management services, can effectively facilitate the supply chain of F&B distribution and deliver products to more customers on a timely basis with delivery lead time as short as within 24 hours. The Group currently operated 12 warehouses strategically located in the major sales regions in Peninsular Malaysia, with designated storage capacity of approximately 25,600 CBM, nine of which are equipped with cold storage facilities with an aggregate of approximately 4,550 CBM mainly for storage of frozen food and dairy products. The Group also operated a fleet of over 140 self-operated logistics vehicles, of which approximately 100 are refrigerated trucks, which facilitate an effective and efficient flow of warehousing and logistics management operations.Proven track record of financial performanceDuring the track record period, the gross profit margin of the Group showed an upward trend, with the gross profit margin in FY2021 reaching 14.1%. Gross profit amounted to approximately RM94.5 million (equivalent to approximately HK$181.7 million) in FY2021, representing a year-on-year increase of approximately 18.5% from FY2020.

At the same time, gross profit margin and adjusted net profit margin also continued to rise.Experienced and dedicated senior management teamThe Group has an experienced, dedicated and capable management team led by the executive Directors, the Soon Brothers, who have been instrumental in spearheading the growth of the Group and have over 30 years of experience in the business of distribution of F&B products in Malaysia. They are responsible for the overall business strategy, planning, operational and sales management and development of the Group. In addition, the Group has a loyal, experienced and capable senior management team with extensive operational expertise and in-depth understanding of the F&B distribution industry in Malaysia and is able to establish a high degree of product differentiation and a broad brand portfolio.Future Growth StrategiesFurther enhancing distribution and sales capabilities by investing in cold chain and other infrastructureDuring the track record period, the Group's revenue generated from frozen food and dairy products represented approximately 50% of the total revenue. Both frozen food and dairy products are sold by the Group under, in addition to Third-Party Brands, Own Brands or on a White-Label basis which generally have a higher profit margin as compared to the distribution and sales of Third-Party Brand Products. Going forward, the primary business strategies of the Group should pivot around enhancing the cold chain warehousing and logistics capabilities and management. The Group plans to (i) set up a new warehouse with cold storage facilities and upgrade the self-owned warehouses with advanced features; (ii) acquire and upgrade cold and other logistics vehicles; (iii) enhance cold chain and other management and information systems.Apart from cold storage facilities, the expected increase in designated general storage capacity would also facilitate the optimisation of the storage space and enhance the efficiency in sales of the products that are stored under general condition and improve the operational results.Enhanced development of Own ProductsOwn Products and White-Label Products generally enjoy a high gross profit margin, which drives the expansion of relevant segments. The Group plans to develop the business of the Own Products and White-Label Products by purchasing new processing machines for processing so as to take up more orders, save labour costs and enhance processing efficiency. The Group will also conduct marketing and promotional activities of the Own-Brand Products to further conduct media marketing and engage with more potential customers.Development of e-commerce business by launching a mobile applicationOwing to the large and diverse customer base with more than 11,000 active customers, the Group receives and processes a large number of orders from various types of customers every day. To streamline the ordering process and in line with the market trend, the Group plans to develop the e-commerce operations by engaging an external party service provider to design and customise a mobile application. The Ordering App is expected to be launched and put into use by the fourth quarter of FY2023 and it is expected to create a more convenient and pleasant purchasing experience for customers and enhance the efficiency of the Group.Strategic acquisitions and investments along the supply value chainIn view of the expected growth in the F&B distribution industry in Malaysia, the Group plans to continue to expand the business and explore potential business opportunities by acquiring majority or entire shareholding of, or investing in, local company(ies) or acquiring business(es) in the F&B supply value chain, including horizontal and vertical acquisitions and investments.Use of proceedsBased on the Offer Price of HK$0.54 per Share (being the mid-point of the indicative Offer Price range of HK$0.52 to HK$0.56 per Share) and assuming the Over-allotment Option is not exercised, after deducting estimated underwriting fees and other expenses, net proceeds from the Global Offering are estimated at approximately HK$86.0 million.

HKTDC welcomes measures to ease quarantine restrictions

8 8 月, 2022
HONG KONG, Aug 8, 2022 - (ACN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - The Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC) welcomes the Hong Kong SAR (HKSAR) Government's relaxation of entry quarantine measures, which will have a positive impact on Hong Kong's economic recovery and strengthen the city's international competitiveness. The HKTDC has been supporting Hong Kong's small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) and with the latest easing of quarantine measures, has set five key strategies to help SMEs capture business opportunities.Dr Peter KN Lam, Chairman, Hong Kong Trade Development Council, said, "The new HKSAR Government brings new hope to the people of Hong Kong. We welcome the HKSAR Government's announcement to ease quarantine measures which strike a balance between public health and economic recovery. I believe this latest development sends a positive signal to the global community and will help drive Hong Kong's economic momentum and strengthen the city's international competitiveness."As President Xi Jinping had said, Hong Kong should ride on its unique advantage as an international connector with the support of the mainland behind it. I am grateful for the support of the Central Government for Hong Kong. By aligning the HKTDC's five key strategies with the mainland's 14th Five-Year Plan and the HKSAR Government's policies, we can help our SMEs and start-ups turn crisis into opportunity and create prospects for our young people."HKTDC's five key strategies for 2022/23 are as follows:1. Promote sustainable development, innovation & technology and wellness - The HKTDC will organise industry fairs and conferences to promote Hong Kong's achievements and strengths in sustainability, innovation and technology, as well as medical and wellness industries. These elements will be featured across our major international industry events, with matchmaking for projects from the above sectors to promote commercialisation and investment opportunities for global business as well as SMEs. Relevant conferences and exhibitions include the Asia Summit on Global Health (10-11 November, 2022) the Asian Financial Forum, Asian Logistics, Maritime and Aviation Conference, Hong Kong Electronics Fair (Autumn Edition), and Eco Expo Asia, among others.2. Promote emerging industries and create synergy with traditional industries - The HKTDC will promote Hong Kong's strengths in emerging industries, including medicine and healthcare, innovation and technology, creative and cultural industries and environmental industries, while creating synergy with the city's core pillar industries, such as finance, logistics, intellectual property and manufacturing. For example, these platforms can match R&D technology with enterprises or match creative sectors with traditional manufacturers. The newly launched "Exhibition Plus" digital service also enables buyers and sellers worldwide source effectively through seamless online and offline connection and matching, and ample opportunity for interaction before and after trade fairs.3. Facilitate Hong Kong businesses in exploring markets - The Mainland China market, especially the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macau Greater Bay Area (GBA) is our key focus.

For companies tapping into overseas markets, we support them with a focus on Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) markets (covering Hong Kong's major trading partners, such as ASEAN, Japan and Korea) and mature markets, such as Australia and New Zealand, with whom Hong Kong has established Free Trade Agreements. Through events, such as the Belt and Road Summit in August and through the HKTDC's network of 50 offices around the world, we actively work with governments, business communities and enterprises to promote and reinforce Hong Kong's position as an international business hub.4. Strengthen support for SMEs and start-ups in Hong Kong, including making use of government funding - We support SMEs and start-ups by providing information, large-scale online and offline events and promotion platforms, as well as training programmes, such as Start-up Express for start-ups, Transformation Sandbox (T-Box) for SMEs and GoGBA for companies entering the GBA. The HKTDC also works closely with the HKSAR Government to enhance government funding schemes, including the SME Export Marketing Fund (EMF), Convention and Exhibitions Subsidy Scheme (C&E), the Branding, Upgrading and Domestic Sales (BUD Fund) and the Technology Voucher Programme (TVP).5. Align with two priorities of the new HKSAR Government: (i) promote Hong Kong as a platform for cultural exchange and (ii) enable development opportunities for youth - (i) The HKTDC will promote Hong Kong as a hub for cultural exchange between Mainland China and the world and create business opportunities for the cultural and creative industries through our exhibitions and promotions. (ii) The HKTDC will also focus on promoting collaboration between business and youth organisations by using our industry platforms. Our Trade Ambassador Programme (TAP) offers Hong Kong young people opportunities for exchange, learning and participation at international events, such as the Belt and Summit (August 2022), which will include a thematic forum focusing on young entrepreneurs to promote entrepreneurship. By creating opportunities, the HKTDC hopes to create opportunities for young people to contribute to Hong Kong and the mainland.Since the beginning of 2022, the HKTDC has held 13 exhibitions and conferences.

HONG KONG, Aug 3, 2022 - (亚太商讯 via SEAPRWire.com) - 近日「港股中国口腔连锁第一股」瑞尔集团披露财报，2022财年公司实现营业总收入16.23亿元人民币，同比增长7.2%，经调整净利润0.66亿元，同比增长17.68%。尽管疫情扰乱了口腔医疗行业迅速增长的节奏，但瑞尔集团仍然选择逆势扩张，积极布局全国市场。据瑞尔集团相关负责人透露，2022-2023财年，公司将筹建2家医院，6家诊所，增设超过160张椅位。而此前瑞尔集团已经通过自建及并购的方式，将版图扩张至全国主要核心经济区域。日前瑞尔集团通过全资附属公司向无锡市通善口腔医院有限公司投资，获得51%的权益。据了解「通善口腔」在江苏省无锡市及邻近地区经营9家口腔诊所，自此瑞尔集团版图再下一城，全国共有121个诊所及医院。蓄势待发未来成长与盈利兼顾我国口腔医疗市场潜力巨大，瑞尔的逆势扩张，被外界看作是对未来口腔医疗井喷需求的提前布局。华安证券分析师认为，当前国内民营口腔医疗服务渗透率依旧较低，2020年前五名民营口腔医疗机构收入总和仅占全市场收入的8.5%，市场提升空间较大。对于「扩张中的盈利问题」，瑞尔集团董事长邹其芳表示，「集团旗下经营超过6年处于稳健增长期的门诊和医院已超过一半，这部分稳健增长期门诊和医院的门店利润率平均超过30%，做得好的门店利润率可以超过40%。目前100多家中新开诊所和医院的数量还不少，整体盈利水平会持续上升」。瑞尔预计：如果集团稳健增长期诊所数量占比维持在50%以上，且牙科椅数量增速维持在10-15%左右，在正常情况下，公司就能实现营收，净利润的健康双增目标。也就是说，随着新诊所批量转为成熟诊所进入精耕细作阶段，瑞尔集团的成长与盈利将得到兼顾。高、中端品牌错位布局或为「潜力玩家」与主要依靠某个区域市场收入的品牌不同，瑞尔集团布局较为均衡，「瑞尔齿科+瑞泰口腔+瑞尔臻选」，高、中端品牌错位布局华北、华东、华南以及西区的全国市场。财报数据显示，截至2022年3月31日，瑞尔齿科在国内七个城市即北京、上海、深圳、广州、杭州、天津及厦门共经营51家瑞尔诊所，主要服务高净值人群；瑞泰诊所布局在中国10个一线城市和核心二线城市，共经营7家医院及54家瑞泰诊所，主要服务中产人群。瑞尔臻选则是在2022年7月新近成立，主推会员制模式，以家庭为切入点，是匹配精细化、多元化市场需求进行软硬件升级的高端品牌。首家瑞尔臻选旗舰诊所坐落在北京CBD核心区三星大厦。自此，三大品牌布局，形成对内一二线城市口腔医疗市场的全覆盖。财报显示，瑞尔齿科2022财年收入为8.32亿元，较上一财年的7.67亿元增长8.5%；瑞泰口腔的收入为7.92亿元，较上一财年的7.48亿元增长5.9%。从全国化扩张难易的角度看，业内认为，瑞尔集团或许是最具全国化扩张潜力的牙科公司。根据财报，瑞尔集团2019年—2021年，公司首次就诊起计六个月后再次到公司旗下医院就诊的患者（不包括就同一诊疗的后续问诊复诊）的百分比分别为42.1%、41.4%、45.8%，客户品牌忠诚度较高。从医生留存率来看，2019年-2021年，瑞尔集团三年以内的牙医留存率超过70%，三年及以上的留存率达到90%左右。根据复诊率以及牙医留存率可以看出，瑞尔集团的经营稳定性以及服务口碑。随着后疫情时代到来，瑞尔集团的潜力将逐渐彰显。根据弗若斯特沙利文报告，中国口腔医疗市场规模在2021年为人民币1450亿元，保持年均20%的增长，预计在2025年达到人民币3000亿元，口腔医疗市场将迎来巨大的契机。 Copyright 2022 亚太商讯.

Hong Kong Jewellery Design Competition winning pieces go on display ACN Newswire

Hong Kong Jewellery Design Competition winning pieces go on display

1 8 月, 2022
HONG KONG, Aug 1, 2022 - (ACN Newswire via SEAPRWire.com) - Organised by the Hong Kong Trade Development Council (HKTDC), the 38th HKTDC Hong Kong International Jewellery Show and 8th HKTDC Hong Kong International Diamond, Gem & Pearl Show are fully open to the public at the Hong Kong Convention and Exhibition Centre (HKCEC) until 2 August. As one of the highlight events this year, the 23rd Hong Kong Jewellery Design Competition award presentation ceremony was held on the opening day of the shows. The winning pieces - all locally designed and of exceptional craftmanship - are on display at the Hall 3FG Concourse of the fairground for the appreciation of visitors and exhibitors.Winners and guests attended the awards presentation ceremony for the 23rd Hong Kong Jewellery Design CompetitionOpen Group Best of Show Award, Title of design: The Dream of Butterfly, Designer: Yuen Ching-chi, Sponsor: Sharon Yuen Jewelry Design, Category: Pendant/BroochThe Hong Kong Jewellery Design Competition is jointly organised by the HKTDC, the Hong Kong Jewellers' & Goldsmiths' Association, Hong Kong Jewellery & Jade Manufacturers Association, Hong Kong Jewelry Manufacturers' Association and the Diamond Federation of Hong Kong. Now in its 23rd edition, the competition continues to provide a platform for local talents to showcase their creative flair, to identify budding designers, and advance design excellence in the local jewellery industry. The theme of this year's competition was "Dream", encompassing both the fantastical imaginations of people's dreams as well as the aspirations they have for the future. The competition was divided into two categories, the Open Group and the Student Group, with contestants giving highly personal interpretations of the theme through works of extraordinary creativity and craftsmanship.Open Group shows imagination and exquisite craftsmanshipThree Best of Show awards were given in the Open Group. Yuen Ching-chi claimed a Best of Show award for the second consecutive year. Her 2022 entry, "The Dream of Butterfly", in black and white tones, portrays butterflies that dream of dancing freely in the snow and the transformations they must go through to survive periods of severe weather. Ms Yuen's design sends a message that everyone can still carry their dreams and fly high under adversity.Another Best of Show award went to Hui Yuk-king's multipurpose ring, "Where Dreams Lie". Her design is adorned with more than 900 coloured sapphires in 100 different shades, totalling more than 20 carats, all handpicked by the designer herself. It took more than 500 hours to create this delicate and colourful ring that depicts the origin of dreams and explores our imaginations."Flying" by Yung Yuk-shan is the third piece given the Best of Show award. The pendant/brooch depicts an astronaut being lifted into the air by a bunch of handheld, planet-shaped balloons. Inspiration came from the designer's childhood dream of going on space adventures as well as the sense of pride she felt when a Chinese female astronaut went into space.Student Group unleashes boundless potentialOpen to students of institutions registered in Hong Kong, the Student Group category of the competition aims to inspire more young design talents to join the jewellery design profession. This year, VTC Youth College student Stephanie Law's entry, "The Unicorn in My Dream - RUNNING", won both the Champion title and the Craftsmanship and Technology Award. The ring is embellished with sapphires and a droplet tourmaline mounted in 18-karat white gold and yellow gold. The unicorn's wings show an enamelled gradation, from red to violet, that adds a hint of fantasy, while the surrounding whirlwind feature can be spun around.The second runner-up spot went to Alison Yip who is studying on a programme co-offered by the School for Higher and Professional Education and Sheffield Hallam University.

The seven-strong judging panel evaluated the entries based on creativity and innovation, aesthetics, craftsmanship and wearability, topic relevance and marketability (the latter applicable only to the Open Group).This year, the newly added "Popularity Award" went to Hui Yuk-king's entry "Where Dreams Lie". It was voted for by visitors on the first day of the twin jewellery shows out of all the winning pieces.Twin jewellery shows go fully public along with Simply Shopping FestThe two concurrent jewellery events have attracted more than 430 exhibitors in 2022, showcasing a dazzling array of exquisite jewellery and jewellery-making materials.
