2015 is just 3 yrs away. Is Tien Wah/New toyo working on tendering for new supply contract any time soon?
if not, then it is a REAL CAUSE for concern.

If BAT can find a much lower cost base in China, then Tien Wah might lose a very substantial of its volume and revenue, especially after the end of the 7-yr supply contract in 2015.
Low cost printers are indeed plentiful in China but in terms of quality, they have quite some learning curve to climb. But Chinese are known to be fast learners...
