Company Announcement
Dear All
Thank you for your contribution and support to STC.
SHIBAKAWA THAINLAD would like to announce the current company status as below.
1) Worldwide all Camera market is getting to shrink recent every year.
2) STC’s main customer like as Nikon and Canon plan to reduce their production quantity 10% more compare to the last year.
Nikon announced in July their production plan changed 5,000K sets from 5,500K sets of yearly budget about their main production items of single-lens reflex camera.
3) According to the market trend, this direction will continue more and it is very difficult to increase the quantity.
4) Especially the 4th quarter (Oct to Dec) is lowest season of the production every year.
5) STC’s sale forecast in this period will become lower 20% than 3rd quarter. So the company had been asking all employees to improve the efficiency, reduce OT and expense in order to secure the good profit in the last 3 month, however STC couldn’t get the profit in any month.
6) STC should improve more and change quickly in order to become the profitable company because the sale and loss forecast is getting worth.
7) I would like to ask all employees to work more effectively and improve your time, quality and mind. We would like to become the excellent company as soon as possible. We can do. Please cooperate.
