DC & I TO HELP LOCAL AND OVERSEAS MANUFACTURERS
To Make Business Contact
The Commerce and Industry Department is trying to help local
manufacturers who wish to do business with overseas industrialists making
enquiries in Hong Kong.
The Industrial Development Branch of the Department has for many
years encouraged investment in Hong Kong's manufacturing industry. It
has received many enquiries from overseas industrialists wishing to place
sub-contracting orders or to enter into joint venture or licensing arrangements
with local manufacturers.
The enquirers, who come from a very wide range of industries, often
ask for the names of Hong Kong factories which have the capacity and the
capability to carry out particular manufacturing processes.
"Useful business comes Hong Kong's way from these enquiries, and
the Department is anxious to enlarge the amount of information it now has
on Hong Kong companies which might be interested in expanding their operations
in this way," a spokesman said.
Of particular interest are companies engaged in the metal-based industries such as tool and die-making, electro-plating and anodizing, and
general machining to fine tolerances, but more information and contacts
are needed on other industries also.
Interested parties are invited to contact Mr. Michael Lee (5-258790)
of the Department's Industrial Development Branch, who will be pleased to
answer questions on this subject.
