Mr. Zengyong Wang, Chairman and CEO of Fuwei Films, commented, “We are pleased to return to profitability after years of hard work and believe that the worst may be behind us. We believe the turnaround was a result of our commitment to differentiated product strategy and continuous R&D. Sales of specialty films continued to increase and accounted for 47.6% of total sales during the quarter compared to 38.6% last year. Meanwhile, we believe research and development is helping us launch new products and expand the end-user applications of our films. Looking ahead, the BOPET industry remains competitive as a result of higher supply. Nevertheless, we will continue to innovate, tackle overseas markets and execute differentiated product strategy to improve performance and capture opportunities.”
