OPPORTUNITIES FOR JOINT ENTERPRISE
The Commerce and Industry Department is anxious to obtain more
information on Hong Kong companies which might be interested in expanding
their operations through enquiries from overseas.
"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, "a spokesman for the department
said.
However, he added that more information and contacts were needed
on other industries as well,
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 spokesman said: "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."
He added that very often these enquiries resulted in useful
business.
Interested parties are invited to contact Mr. K.C. Kwong of the
Industrial Development Branch at telephone No. 5-445656 who will be pleased
to answer questions on this subject.
