Vision inspection equipment firm sees double-digit sales growth
GEORGE TOWN: Vitrox Corp Bhd has orders in hand of RM15mil to RM17mil worth of vision inspection equipment to deliver by next month.
Group chief executive officer Chu Jenn Weng (pic) said these orders were placed last month and have yet to be shipped out, but would be delivered by March.
“We believed that for this first quarter, our performance will register a double-digit percentage growth in sales compared to a year ago corresponding period, which achieved a sales revenue of RM22.8mil.
“We are also aiming for a double digit percentage growth in sales for 2015 in view of the increased in demand for vision inspection equipment for the semiconductor and electronics assembly industry,” Chu said.
Chu said Vitrox was getting more agents to be based in China, the United States, South Korea and Mexico to expand its customer base, which includes the top multinational corporations and the small and medium players.
Vitrox presently has about 20 agents to market its products overseas.
The group is now developing the next generation of the tray vision inspection equipment and the new 3-D advanced X-ray inspection equipment, according to Chu.
“The tray vision inspection equipment will be out in the market by the second quarter, while the 3-D advanced X-ray inspection equipment is scheduled to be released in the second half,” he said.
The group currently has about RM60mil in cash which will be utilised as working capital to partially fund the group’s expansion project in Batu Kawan, Seberang Prai.
“Vitrox will invest RM80mil in the first phase of the plant on a 20-acre site. The plant which will be operational in early 2017 will double the production capacity of the present facility.
“There will be three phases for the new facility in Batu Kawan,” he said.
On the higher cost of importing electronic components due to the weaker ringgit compared to the US dollar, Chu said the group imported only about 30% of the raw materials used for its equipment.
“Our earnings in greenback also helps to cushion the impact of a weakened ringgit,” he added.
Chu said the group’s book-to-bill ratio for January 2015 was 1.05.
“This means that for every dollar we billed, we received US$1.05 of orders,” Chu explained.
Vitrox will invest about RM20mil this year, compared with over RM15mil last year, for design and development activities to develop new machine vision potential applications for the manufacturing sector.
