a dehumidifier at the Win Industrial Workshop site in Thingangyunt
township, Yangon, on October 10. |
MYANMAR’S leading industrial dehumidifier supplier last
week said orders have picked up about 20 percent this rainy season
as more factories come to realise the benefits of keeping moisture
out of manufacturing.
U Khin Maung Win, who assembles and installs dehumidifiers nationwide
through his company Win Industrial Workshop, said the increase
in sales was due to greater awareness of dehumidifiers rather
than an increase in the number factories.
“Orders have increased by 20pc compared with last rainy
season. From the start of August up until October 10 we made 120
dehumidifiers. We hope to reach 200 by the end of October,”
U Khin Maung Win said.
“Most orders come from cigarette and medicine factories
as well as from beans and pulses traders. There is less demand
for residential use,” he said.
U Khin Maung Win earlier said that 2006 had been a particularly
quiet year for dehumidifier sales.
Win Industrial Workshop imports parts from Singapore and has
no domestic competitors, U Khin Maung Win said.
The company started installing dehumidifiers in the early 1990s
at the request of the government to assist industrial development.
Most of its dehumidifiers cost between K700,000 and K3 million.
