Dear Sakura Distributors, Business Partners
Seasonal Greetings toward

We have a
pleasure of sending this message toward the end of the year, first with a
greeting : How the current business year is winding up at your side under a
severer global economic circumstances ?
No matter how you have managed so far, it
is sure to us all that the global economic climate is still severely worsening
so that each of advanced nations, and developing ones as well, are much anxious
about taking any measures for breaking away from such stagnation of the economy.
It was also true for us, SAKURA, that the year was a process of trial and error
how to develop overall business activities satisfactory toward mutual success
with you, Sakura Distributors, to assure bright prosperity toward
future.
As of the end of year 2012, we, SAKURA,
have established the Authorized Distributor in 25 countries while, besides that,
we have more than 50 business partners in some 30 countries and areas in global
basis.
Ambition in next
year
1) Increase the
number of Authorized Distributors to be established in up to 40 countries within
2013 to consolidate SAKURA global business
strategy.
2) Product
development shall be further enriched toward a range of specific
Air-Conditioning products further from current general Domestic/Residential
units to meet various market needs.
3) New product
development under a basic concept of Ecology and Energy-saving while keeping
higher performance and price competitiveness in the market
place.
