Dear Staff Members of Xiaoya Retail,
On behalf of Pure Cold Ltd, I would like to extend my sincere gratitude for your excellent work making our integral cabinets in the past year.
The UK economy is currently affected by the serious international financial crisis, like the economies in many other countries. We are fortunate, however, that the food retail sector is only marginally affected by the economic downturn. Indeed our particular sector of the market which is Local Convenience Stores, are actually increasing their sales as people change their shopping habits specifically:
as they eat out in restaurants less
as they order more food over the internet which is then delivered to their homes and they then top up these deliveries with purchases from their local convenience stores.
We are therefore very hopeful that the quantity of cabinets that Xiaoya Retail make for us this year will be greater than last year.
To both Pure Cold and Xiaoya Retail, the year of 2009 is very important. For the past few years, the management teams from both sides have worked in close partnership designing, manufacturing and selling quality products with advanced technology. We have successfully introduced cabinets manufactured by Xiaoya to the UK market, and have supplied the first Chinese manufactured cabinets in the European Union. We have now established a reputation for well made and reliable products which perform well for our retail customers.
During 2008 we have together successfully developed a series of new products, which have low energy consumption, are cosmetically attractive, and most importantly are environmentally friendly. As an example, we have developed a new type of integral cabinet which uses natural refrigerants, and which are already being highly praised by our customers.
We are convinced that these cabinets will be competitive in the market and will set new environmental standards. European Union Legislation has already banned CFCs, HCFCs and is moving towards banning HFCs (completely banned in cars from 2011) Compared with the traditional cabinets with HFCs gases, natural refrigerant cabinets can avoid the global warming impact when the gas is leaked to the environment. As an example one bucket of HFCs released into the environment has the same global warming impact as driving a car for 16,000 kilometers.
According to the survey given by Environmental Investigation Agency (EIA) on February 1, 2009, the cabinets with HFC's gases in the supermarket cause the climate change
Undoubtedly, if our new cabinets can be put into market as early as possible, they must help win better social and economical benefits. They will also put Xiaoya at the leading edge of environmentally friendly refrigeration in the world.
For the past few years, we recognize that Xiaoya Retail have always been made every effort to improve the quality of manufacturing of the cabinets that Pure Cold purchased. We really do appreciate your efforts.
The Year of Ox has just begun. We are very bullish about the Year.
May I wish you all a prosperous Year of the Ox. Best wishes and good luck to you all.
With Kind Regards
Yours faithfully,
Mark Isaacs,
Director Pure Cold Ltd
