2015 Year Report

Welcome to our Wagon House View: Years AheadWhen it comes to protecting and growing your wealth in a beneficial way, one of the greatest advantages we have is the ability to invest for the longer term. And yet many others throw it away.

To reflect the importance, we place on thinking about the longer term investment that will shape our future advan-tage, we've split our usual Year Ahead outlook into two parts. First part focuses exclusively on the long-term outlook for the world manufacturing expansion in Asia and reinforcing services in US, Europe and Japan. The second part focuses exclusively on CSR and manufacturing.

We lay out our thinking on the big questions ‒ from the position of the US as a global leader, to the internationaliza-tion of China, followed on significant demographic challenges facing the continent of Europe, the reform economics from Japan, and onto the potential growth in South East Asia. We look at major economic structure, their outlook over the upcoming business cycle, and lay out a series of new investment projects, prepared for the ever changing world of business. We continue to focus on CSR field, identifying a series of key short-term and long-term research programs, assessed against our robust and integrated sustainability framework.

As always, we strive for innovation, and this year present our most comprehensive digital offering ever. the re-de-signed wagongroups.com hosts all of the information included in the Years Ahead, topics and results on sustainabili-ty, automation and global expansion. All available across platforms, including mobile, tablet and PC.

We hope you find our new digital offering useful and engaging, and this Wagon House View: Years Ahead helps guide you successfully through our “World in Transition.”

Lastly, on behalf of Wagon, I would like to thank you for your utmost support, and wishes to complete another great year ahead of us, like what everyone at Wagon believed in, “What we build together “Today”, is going to maximize our competitiveness for “Tomorrow”.

Global Supplying SystemFirst of all, we would like to share our view towards this amazing vision of our Global Supplying System (GSS). A system created to maximize advantages and competitiveness in every way, a system to work seamlessly throughout the future map of world supply, a system where only can be built if every single details are carefully considered and planed.

Why for a GSS?Since our last report, the economic climate continuous to shift from China into South East Asia. The shifts of global manufacturing demand from China towards countries like Vietnam, Philippines, Thailand and Indonesia have further accelerated the pressure in the completion of the GSS.

ManufactureManufacturing at a global view is prove not only to be more challenging, but also more versatile. Having doing researches on the cost of labor, below is what we have investigated and analyzed.

Global Supplying SystemPrior to the investigation on cost of labor, it is obvious that we also had to concentrate on existing and future trade agreements, hence, we concentrated on GSP, TPP and RCEP.

From the above analysis, we hope you understand why Wagon choose both Vietnam and Philippines as the first two phases of the global expansion plan for the next five years to come. Both countries not only provide us with the cost advantage in operation, but our partners and clients also benefit from tax advantages of the trading agreements. Wagon strongly believes the GSS is the answer for the future form of global manufacturing supply within this indus-try, we sincerely invite you to join us and continuous to support us in completing this system.

Investments in 2015Machinery:We have concentrated our investment mainly in the manufacturingsector, main objective is to speed up processing time for both developing and production lead-time while maintaining the quality performance and also controlling the environmental impact to its minimum.

Automation:Our internally invented Automatic Stone Assembling Machine reduces the need for human power by as much as 300%. The productivity is increased by 30% and our work force are no longer reporting of industrial harm to their eye. The input of the Wax Free Automatic Polishing Machine has reduced the use of Wax (Wax is very difficult to treat in waste water) by 24% in 2015, which relatively saves a total amount of 700 tons of water usage annually.
