(Hong
Kong, 8 December 2003) - Synergis
Management Services Limited
("Synergis"), a leading
provider of comprehensive property
and facility management services
in Hong Kong, celebrated its
25th anniversary today.
Professor
Woo Chia-Wei, Non-executive
Chairman of Synergis Holdings
Limited ("the Synergis
Group" / the "Group")
(stock code: 2340), said, "I
am delighted to see the substantial
progress and achievements that
Synergis has made in the past
25 years. I am also very honored
to have the opportunity to participate
in the Board of the Group, witnessing
its rapid growth and numerous
breakthroughs. While celebrating
the notable milestones achieved
in the past decade, we are also
enthusiastically looking forward
to the Group's next stage of
growth and industry dominance."
Synergis
was established as a subsidiary
of the Hsin Chong Group in 1978.
After 25 years of steady growth
and development, the Group has
achieved its position as one
of the leaders in the property
and facility management industry
in Hong Kong. Furthermore, on
9 October this year, the Group
sets a new milestone for the
industry in Hong Kong and China
by being the first property
and facility management company
in Hong Kong to be listed on
the Main Board of the Stock
Exchange of Hong Kong Limited.
Synergis
currently manages more than
210 properties and facilities,
comprising of more than 150,000
residential units and approximately
1.33 million square meters in
gross floor area of industrial
and commercial properties. Meanwhile,
Synergis has also successfully
explored the vast and prospective
facility management market in
the mainland through a series
of strategic joint ventures,
in view of becoming the benchmark
of property and facility management
industry in Asia.
Recapping
on the most outstanding achievements
that Synergis has made over
the past 25 years, Mr. C.
H. Fan, Managing Director of
the Group said, "Apart
from being successfully listed
earlier this year, we are most
proud of Synergis's transformation
into a total solutions provider
for property and facility management
services from a traditional
property management company.
In addition, our professional
image and commitment to establishing
closer tides with our customers
were reflected in our newly
launched English brand name
"Synergis" and our
energetic company logo."
With
over 20 years of dedications
and hard work, Synergis has
established a strong foundation
and reputation in the property
management industry. In view
of the business potential in
Hong Kong's facility management
market brought forward by the
increasing importance of corporate
outsourcing, the management
of Synergis started developing
the facility management business
three years ago, and is actively
seeking to capture the enormous
development potential of the
facility management market in
the PRC.
Having
established business presences
in Beijing, Guangzhou and Shenzhen
in the first quarter of 2003,
the Group has recently signed
a joint-venture agreement with
Shui On Group regarding the
establishment of business operations
in Shanghai. The Group will
become an exclusive provider
of premium property and facility
management services for Shui
On Group's properties in Shanghai.
"Given Shui On Group's
vast development scale in Shanghai's
property market, we believe
the cooperation is going to
assist Synergis in opening the
Shanghai market and achieving
satisfactory business development
in Shanghai."
Leveraging
on its accumulated skills and
experiences, the Synergis Group
has achieved outstanding results
in the area of facility management.
In recognition of the Group's
dedications and contributions
to the development of the facility
management industry, Synergis
has been awarded the 2003 FAME
Award by the Hong Kong Institute
of Facility Management.
"Apart
from striving to create new
milestones for the Group, we
consider social responsibility
a very important aspect for
our company. On this very special
day of our 25th Anniversary,
together with Dr. Geoffrey Yeh,
Chairman of the Hsin Chong Group,
we will be contributing HK$2,500,000
to The Hong Kong University
of Science and Technology. We
believe their excellence and
sophistication in education
is going to benefit numerous
students, nurturing future talents
for the city of Hong Kong."
commented Professor Woo Chia-Wei.
"Looking
into the future, there are unlimited
potential for mainland property
management and facility management
industry development. Especially
with the PRC's entry into the
World Trade Organization furthering
opening the local market, the
Greater China Region is going
to become the Group's major
area of development for the
future. Leveraging on Synergis's
experiences in the industry,
we will be able to provide major
PRC corporations as well as
Multi-National-Corporations
with sophisticated and premium
management services. Building
on our strongly established
foundation, Synergis will strive
to reach new highs through continuous
business developments."
concluded Mr. Fan.
