While Anlev’s performance in terms of both safety and service quality is well recognised by customers, Anlev is building critical mass to enhance the efficiency of production and has been continuously developing its products to meet customer needs and stay ahead of the competition.In July 2024, the Group unveiled the ATAL Tower, its new headquarters in Kwai Chung. Operation units from different offices are moving in by phases to be consolidated under one roof in this building, which will be fully operational by the third quarter of 2024. “This marks a new era and a significant milestone in the Group’s development. ATAL Tower boasts superior infrastructure that will enable us to better serve customers and partners while also providing a pleasant work environment to enhance our productivity and collaboration,” added Dr Mak.The Group remains cautiously optimistic about the business outlook, given the strong contracts-in-hand, its leadership position in growth segments, and its strong tendering pipeline. Its continuous success in securing new business opportunities and winning contracts augers well for remaining competitive in the industry and growing its revenue, customer base and market reach. The Hong Kong SAR Government’s planned annual capital works expenditure of about HK$90 billion presents significant opportunities for the Group. Overall, the Group sees potential in healthcare, infrastructure, housing, data centres, smart technologies, advanced food waste treatment technology, and retrofitting of existing buildings to contribute to sustainable urban development.

The Group will continue to explore suitable synergistic business opportunities, including expansion into East Asia, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and other areas.Dr Mak concluded, “What Analogue has achieved would not have been possible without our dedicated and capable staff. Attracting and retaining talents remains one of our top priorities. We are committed to providing our employees with comprehensive training to support their development, and to cultivating a corporate culture that values professionalism and craftsmanship. As a market leader, we take pride in being able to provide a comprehensive suite of quality services, not only for the benefit of our customers, employees and shareholders, but also to contribute to the betterment of society in Hong Kong and around the world.”For further details of the 2024 Interim Results, please refer to the announcement filed with The Stock Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.– END –About Analogue Holdings LimitedEstablished in 1977, Analogue Holdings Limited is a leading electrical and mechanical (“E&M”) engineering and technology service provider, with headquarters in Hong Kong and operations in Macau, Mainland China, the United States and the United Kingdom.
