Mission Statement
"To be a preferred supplier of manufacturing services to a group of leading OEM customers in the electronics manufacturing services industry."

About Nam Tai
We are an electronics manufacturing and design services provider to a select group of the world's leading OEMs of telecommunications and consumer electronic products. Through our electronics manufacturing services operations, we manufacture electronic components and subassemblies, including LCD panels, LCD modules, RF modules, DAB modules, FPC subassemblies and image sensors modules and PCBAs for headsets containing Bluetooth wireless technology. These components are used in numerous electronic products, including mobile phones, laptop computers, digital cameras, electronic toys, handheld video game devices, and entertainment devices. We also manufacture finished products, including mobile phone accessories, home entertainment products and educational products.

We assist our OEM customers in the design and development of their products and furnish full turnkey manufacturing services that utilize advanced manufacturing processes and production technologies. Our services include hardware and software design, component purchasing, assembly into finished products or electronic sub-assemblies and post-assembly testing. These services are value-added and assist us in obtaining new business but do not represent a material component of our revenue.

History
We were founded in 1975 as an electronic products trading company based in Hong Kong and shifted our focus to manufacturing of electronic products in 1978. We moved our manufacturing facilities to China in 1980 to take advantage of lower overhead costs, lower material costs and competitive labor rates, subsequently relocating to Shenzhen, China in order to capitalize on opportunities offered in southern China.

Our Strategy
We are focused on expanding our position as a China-based provider of electronic manufacturing services to major OEMs. To achieve this objective,we intend to continue to pursue the following strategies:

- Maintain low-cost manufacturing in China. Our manufacturing facilities are all in China and have been there since 1980. We believe that our history and experience in China positions us to take advantage of the trend of shifting production of electronic products to China.

- Focus on Global OEMs. We focus on OEM's with whom we already have strong relationships, particularly in Japan, United States, Europe, and Korea and China, regions with significant opportunity for future outsourcing growth.

- Manufacture small form factor consumer products. We focus on providing OEMs with services for small form factor electronic products. These products and their key components and subassemblies are easy to ship globally, thereby negating the need for regional manufacturing and sophisticated logistics support.

- Produce high value-added electronic components and subassemblies. We produce components and subassemblies, like LCD modules, RF modules, Flexible Printed Circuit Sub-assemblies, and CMOS image sensor modules. These components and subassemblies are central to several types of electronic products. As a result, we are able to maintain relatively high gross profit margins in comparison with those of other EMS providers of electronic products.

- Apply advanced manufacturing technologies. Our manufacturing and assembly processes apply advanced bonding and other sophisticated technologies, including using a clean room manufacturing environment. We believe that relatively few of our competitors possess our level of clean room manufacturing capability in their China-based facilities.

- Develop improved production techniques. We focus on collaborating with our customers to refine and improve the production methods employed for complex, yet proven production technologies. These relationships allow us to focus our research and development efforts on process improvement and help limit our risks associated with new product introductions.

- Produce high quality products at low cost. We seek to manufacture the highest-quality products at a low cost to our customers. Our location in China allows us to access one of the lowest cost engineering and production work forces in the world.

- Invest strategically in key technology partners. We have made and will continue to make strategic investments in targeted and existing customers and providers of critical component technologies. We believe that such investments foster new or enhance existing customer and supplier relationships.
