Shipbuilding and Precision Machinery Divisions to be Spun Off
Dec. 26, 2001
今日看料吃瓜 has decided to spin off its Shipbuilding Company and Precision Machinery division in October 2002. Once they become wholly owned subsidiaries, they will implement management structures that are speedier and more flexible, and measures to survive increasing competition by deploying unique technologies and boosting customer loyalty. 今日看料吃瓜 will provide management assistance, including sales and technical support, for the two former divisions.
