Industry Overview

The decline in the prices of crude oil, palm oil and rubber are expected to affect the Malaysian economy in general and the construction industry in particular. The slowdown in the western economy is also expected to contribute to a further contraction in the growth of the Malaysian economy in 2015. The domestic consumption for industrial products is forecasted to drop by 10%.

Company’s Objective

To overcome the problem of declining sales in the domestic market and excess capacity of 1.5 million sq. meters, Universal Corporation Sdn. Bhd. embarks on a new marketing strategy of exporting the products. Efforts to identify and penetrate the company’s products to profitable overseas markets will be the main strategy for 2015.
