Can you imagine...15,000,000 dozen balls per year = one third the world total .

Taipei, Mar. 22, 2010 (CENS) – La\nch Technologies Co., a specialized maker of golf balls in Taiwan, will set up a new plant in the industrial processing zone in Pingtung, southern Taiwan, with the new plant to raise the company's annual output from the existing 7.5 million dozens of golf balls to 10-15 million dozens within three years, turning the firm into the world's largest golf ball subcontractor.

Launch is a subsidiary of Advanced

International Multitech Co. (AIT), one of Taiwan's leading golf equipment makers. AIT has been turning out mainly golf clubs and heads and about four years ago decided to diversify into golf balls, hence its setting up in 2006 a new plant nearby its headquarters in Tashu, Kaohsiung County, next to Pingtung.

Seeing growing demand for balls, AIT recently decided to invest US$10.94 million to set up a new golf ball plant in Pingtung's processing zone, also moving Launch into the zone as well. Initially Launch will add one more production line to raise golf ball output by 2.5 million dozens, with expansion perhaps scheduled for later depending on demand.

Insiders disclosed that Launch's net profit is usually 20%-25%, with annual revenues of about US$62.5 million per year. Its major clients include world-famous brands as TaylorMade, Callaway, Dick's, and Mizuno, with Callaway and TaylorMade placing annual orders of three million dozens and two million dozens, respectively.

interesting their current revenue of 62.5M on 7.5M dozen balls. That means they charge about $8.33/dozen

Well son, when a Mommy golf ball and a Daddy golf ball love each other very much...

Why do they call golf "golf"?  Because all the other four letter words were taken.

I was always under the impression that love was optional but liquor was mandatory.

In my bag:

some golf clubs

a few golf balls

a bag of tee's some already broken the rest soon to be

a snickers wrapper (if you have seen me play, you would know you are not going anywhere for a while)

and an empty bottle of water

Golf ball come from store. Store sell things. Lose all golf ball, buy more golf ball from golf store, or find golf ball in gopher hole.
