Turn Crisis into an Opportunity Many experts say that current economic crisis we are facing has greater impact than the Great Depression of 1929. It seems that the difficulties will continue for some time. Thus we should strive to make the extra efforts to turn this crisis into opportunity for further development. Main items of DRB such as Power Transmission Belts and Conveyor Belts have been performed relatively well in the market. Emerging business of construction materials is growing soundly with the increasing investments in structures. Newly developed items such as Seismic Isolation, Vibration Control System and Laser Cutting Machines are being well received by their customers. Our global sales networks are also producing good results. Our teams in America, Japan, Vietnam, Indonesia, and China have met our commitments. I strongly encourage your contribution to our global growth. DRB Slovakia has been an exemplary plant which has made outstanding results since the early stage of manufacturing. Though Europe automotive market has been slowing down with our customers 'KIA & HYUNDAI Motor', we hope to see improved results sooner. DRB Vietnam is just taking off with the help from every member of DRB. We wish to settle down all the business as soon as possible. DRB Qingdao plant has been trying hard to strive for better results, and it should focus on solving chronic problems from the past.
