Now, in our 29th year of operation since the inception of natco in 1980, I reflect back with pride to the joint effort and team work that nurtured the company successfully to achieve growth and leadership in the market with a positive image. Very significant contribution to this success came about from the company's high quality of human resource and leadership among our management team that instilled the value for hard work, integrity, commitment,  and long-term vision to business development.

At this point in our company's history, we have managed to expand and diversify our business activities into seven decentralized and independent divisions, each specialized in products portfolio specific to an industry area. The growth achieved has been through self-sustenance which is directly associated with the unrivalled position of our strength in business operation, management and financial base. The stringent planning process and strategies instituted for the company have given us the ability to convert our internal company competence into competitive advantage in the market. Among the core strength of our strategic management system are fundamental operational objectives that emphasize:

• Placing product portfolio in specific integrated industry area as independent strategic business unit, decentralized into a division operated as a separate profit center.

• Ability to face and cope with changes and challenges arising internally within the company environment as well as externally within the domestic and global market environment.

• Representation of manufacturers founded on relationship that forms strong alliance with long-term vision and perpetual presence in the market.

• Prudent allocation of resources to assure successful operation, with attention given to each specific products portfolio.

• Company management capabilities to identify and see opportunities in new evolving market patterns and trends and to position itself to benefit from the opportunities offered by the market.

We, as a company, will always strive forward for success and maintain momentum for market leadership, by focusing onto the future with confidence.
