Strategic responses included: • Scaling up the second Vietnam plant to capture diversified international orders. • Installing a new digital press at the Tai Po headquarters, targeted to be operational by end-2026, to address short-run demand. • Replacing the corrugated line at Guangdong Lianhe and consolidating Shenzhen, Shunde and Zhongshan operations to lift efficiency. • Continuous ESG initiatives, with installed solar capacity rising to 11.82 MWp and a 97 % waste-recycling rate.

Hung Hing Printing will continue selective investment in growth projects while tightening cost controls and preserving a strong cash position to navigate a challenging trading environment.
