    Orchid’s largest investment is a share of (per August 2007) about 10% in this leading producer of woodworking machines, based in Weihai (China). Orchid was the lead investor in the pre-IPO-investment round in Summer 2006. Gongyou succeeded as the first-ever Chinese company with a primary listing in Germany, an event extensively covered by German media. Gongyou is a sizable group with more than 1300 staff and with outstanding competitive advantages: Low production costs, significant economies of scale based on an annual output of about half a million machines, and a product range of more than 200 machine types, developed by an R&D team of 150 engineers. This enables Gongyou to penetrate more and more export markets, mainly emerging markets like ASEAN, Russia and Latin America. These are regions with a booming furniture and construction industry. Gongyou has been profitable for many years and recorded a net profit of more than AU$ 5 million in last financial year. Gongyou currently significantly expands its production capacity.
