Business is difficult to do middle and downstream LED companies face the dilemma

In the context of the economic growth downturn, the lighting and LED industries have entered the traditional off-season as scheduled. Recently, both manufacturers and distributors have complained to reporters that it is difficult to do business.

The reporter learned that the industry has changed in the near future, lighting companies have lost money, some executives have resigned, and some even owe debts. In the face of the industry's predicament, the dominant enterprises have stepped up their acquisitions to warm up, and the industry has ushered in a wave of mergers and acquisitions.

In addition, local enterprises in Guangdong have taken a different approach and are ready to move to the out-of-province market and pull the battle line to the northwest. The industry believes that with the advantages of the original industry and the advantages of the northern location, it will help local lighting companies to open up the market to tide over the difficulties.

The net profit in 2013 was even more than that in 2012. Fan. The industry believes that the acquisition of Zhongjing Electronics is to save the company's performance dilemma.
