Ron Jakeman, Managing Director, Electrolube

2019 marked a year of significant importance for Ventec as we successfully completed our IPO on the Taiwanese stock exchange. Looking forward to 2020 and the next phase of our development, we continue to stay alert and responsive to the evolving market environment.

With the globally dispersed nature of high-tech manufacturing and long-term economic shifts, as well as short-term effects such as political uncertainties, our global manufacturing and self-owned distribution network continues to give us control over quality of service delivery and the way we respond to changing situations.

Looking ahead, rising domestic demand as the growing Asian middle classes acquire more disposable income to spend will be manifested not only in increasing sales of high-end consumer products but also growing demand for high-performance telecom and data infrastructures and technology for smart transportation and smart energy.

The 5G roll out will accelerate and with it we expect increased volume demand for infrastructure equipment. To meet those demands we will be expanding our range of advanced high-speed / high frequency and IMS materials in 2020 and will continue to deliver our global growth strategy by maximizing the unique set of skills, innovation, materials and technology we have.
