Leading Printer

Wattmark Paper Group is engaged in providing printing services to international book publishers, trade, professional and educational conglomerates and print media companies. Our Company's printed products comprise mainly of illustrated leisure and lifestyle books, educational text books, learning materials and children's books.

Founded in 1999, Wattmark was established by a management team with substantial experience in the international book printing market. The established reputation, extensive knowledge in production and management depth enabled our Company to strategize aggressively from the onset.

Our production plant (Processing Facility) was built in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province in China. The plant, occupying a floor area of 50, 000 square meters, was designed for industrial efficiency and a healthy working environment. All commercial printing equipment is brand new and has the latest technology. Over the years, the Company has continued to invest in more updated machinery to meet increasing demand. The spacious setting of the plant facilitates high volume warehousing, in particular, for paper stocking to leverage on fluctuating commodity pricing and fast turnaround of large projects. Our production workforce is skilled and stable, ensuring quality, fast and on-time delivery of orders.

Wattmark focuses on cultivating long standing business relationships with leading publishers, content providers and print media companies as their core supplier. We have established customer-oriented international sales and customer service teams in Hong Kong and at the plant in China, as well as overseas sales directors to work with customers on the ground. Today, business from the U. K., Australia and the U. S. Accounts for almost 80% of the company's revenue and the top five customers represent approximately 30% of the total turnover.

To work with international book publishers, we have to ensure that our operations are compliant with the customers' stringent requirements, in respect of process, environmental control and social responsibility. Wattmark and the plant have successfully received ISO certification for Integrated Management System.

The production of Wattmark was ramped up within two years of operation and the Company has since grown. We have achieved rapid growth way above industry average. Between 2008 and 2010, Wattmark is ranked as a Top 10 Chinese printer, measured by shipment volume from Shenzhen to the US.

Facing the financial tsunami in 2008 and 2009, Wattmark was able to withstand the credit crunch with a strong cash position, astute credit management and new business developed with medium sized publishers that had difficulty getting credit in the market. The measures turned out to be rewarding financially. It was also a boost of confidence for employees in experiencing how market risks could be turned into opportunities.

The spin-off of Wattmark as a separately listed company would pave the way for more focused growth strategies. Half of the new capital will be utilized in increasing production capacity and upgrading of equipment to meet expanding needs. We aim to attract more seasoned sales personnel to bring in new customer relationships and market expertise. In view of the increasingly popular digital books, we will develop new programs for medium sized publishers to convert their titles to the electronic platform, creating a one-stop shop for both print and digital products. Taking the advantage of our relationships with international publishers and our strong presence in China, we will explore book publishing brokerage and promotion in China, acting as an intermediary for foreign language books to be translated, printed, promoted and distributed for the Chinese market.
