Young Optics sees 2007 sales rising 10 percent
Taiwan's Young Optics Inc., an integrated optical product designer, sees sales rising more than 10 percent in 2007 on higher orders and the launch of new products, a senior executive said Thursday. "Based on conservative estimates, sales for 2007 should rise at least 10 percent," company spokesman Sam Tai told Reuters. "Profit growth for the year will be higher since we have put our effort on cutting costs," he said. The company, which shifted its listing to the main board from the island's gray market on Friday, recorded a 50 percent rise in sales last year to NT$6.17 billion due to the addition of a second micro display TV (MDTV) customer. Young said its customers included two of the world's five-biggest MDTV manufacturers. The top five are Japan's Sony Corp., Panasonic, Toshiba Corp.
