ABC International Ltd. was incorporated in 1968 as a manufacturer of electrical components and

telephone equipment in Hong Kong. In 1979 ABC entered into a joint venture with an Australian group

in the telecommunications field and opened a factory in Shenzhen to manufacture components.

Subsequently rights were acquired to manufacture and sell a range of telecommunications equipment in

Hong Kong and China. This proved to be a very successful arrangement and ABC grew substantially in

turnover, profits and employees.

The company was listed on the Hong Kong stock market in 1997.

Business performance and prospects

The company manufactures and markets a range of equipment for large telecommunication systems, a

proprietary telecommunication system for smaller organisations, and a range of telecommunication

devices for the office and home. These markets include government, military, and industrial customers,

as well as retail outlets. Growth is expected in each of these markets in Hong Kong and China. A mail

order facility through the internet is being designed for direct sales. The business also has the potential

to expand geographical throughout Asia Pacific, but a covenant in their joint venture agreement with

their Australian partner prevents growth elsewhere in the world.
