Description of Best Inc
Our primary business consists of the manufacture and distribution of technology driven advanced packaging film products in five business segments: bi-axially oriented polypropylene, or BOPP, film for wrapping tobacco; water-based latex; coated film; color printed packaging; and advanced film. Our products are sold to customers in the food, tobacco, chemical, medical and pharmaceutical, personal care, electronics, automotive, construction, graphics, music and video publishing industries. Our current production capacity consists of: five coated film lines with a capacity of 15,000 tons a year; two BOPP tobacco film production lines with a capacity of 13,500 tons a year; one BOPP film production line with a capacity of 7,000 tons a year; three color printing lines; four anti-counterfeit film lines with a capacity of 2,500 tons a year; and two water-based latex reaction kettles with a capacity of 3,000 tons a year.
We manufacture and distribute advanced packaging film products in China. China’s packaging industry has grown steadily since the mid-1980s with one of the highest growth rates in the international packaging market. Domestic consumption has always been considered by the Chinese government as one of the key drivers for national economic growth. Over the past several years, the Chinese government has released a number of industry policies and measures to encourage domestic consumption that would benefit the packaging industry. In July 2008, the Ministry of Finance of China established a fund to support the development of new and innovative products and technologies for the packaging industry, focusing on environmental protection, energy efficiency and renewable applications.
With the mild recovery of the global economy, and growing consumer confidence in the Chinese domestic markets, we are cautiously optimistic that consumption of our products will continue to grow. We are experiencing an increase of inquiries from food manufacturers on how to comply with the Food Safety Law that went into effect in 2009. This renewed interest from manufacturers affects our entire breadth of products and we are confident this will lead to an overall improvement in our business. We believe we are well positioned to be the prime beneficiary of increased domestic consumption, a growing world economy, and increased market penetration as the full impact of the Food Safety Law requirements are realized.
We believe there are several positive trends that will continue to accelerate our growth, consumer demand for packaged goods, which offer convenience, quality, aesthetics and lifestyle branding will grow as Chinese consumers find themselves with increasing disposable income and as more purchases are made in supermarkets and away from wet markets and small independent food stores. We are well positioned to take advantage of these trends by providing retail foods and consumer goods manufacturers with beautiful printed flexible packaging.
Rapid Economic Growth and Rising Disposable Income. The growth of the flexible packaging industry is highly correlated with economic growth as the demand for packaging products is driven by improving demographic trends, including living standards and urbanization, as well as expanding industrial output. According to China National Bureau of Statistics, China is one of the fastest growing economies, its GDP having grown rapidly with a compound annual growth rate of 16.0% in the past five years. Per capita disposable income of urban households had a compound annual growth rate of 11.8% over the past ten years and per capita disposable income of rural households had a compound annual growth rate of 9.6% during the same period. China’s economy is expected to continue to grow in the next few years with an average GDP growth forecast of 8.4% from 2009 to 2014 by the World Bank.
