APT Qingdao Factory Raises Product Margin by Investing in Research and Development
SHENZHEN, China, April 13, 2012 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Uni Core Holdings Corporation (OTC Bulletin Board: UCHC), a Hong Kong based holding company, announced today that APT Paper Group ("APT"), one of UCHC's subsidiaries, reduces the proportion of foam in the composite packaging and increases the proportion of the honeycomb paper products through technical research and development; these help effectively reduce costs and improve profit margin. Taking the Qingdao Factory's supply of air-conditioner packaging products to customers as an example, the profit margin can be increased by 5% through the research and development effort.
Through technical research and development, the Qingdao Factory replaced part of the foam materials originally adopted in the composite packaging with honeycomb paper products, providing simple but sturdy overall environment-friendly packaging to a variety of products. Comparing with the original composite packaging, the new packaging is more environmentally friendly and achieves higher cost savings. The Qingdao Factory is applying for a patent of the new composite packaging.
Mr. Thomas Lee, Chief Operating Officer of UCHC, said, "Due to the advanced technological transformation and stringent cost control, APT managed to further improve its profit margin and, at the same time, enhance its production technology to create perfect packaging with environmental materials, reduced energy consumption and pollution. By doing so, it not only brings profits to the shareholders, but also contributes to the world with a greener and healthier future."
