達豐設備服務有限公司公佈2025/26中期業績

香港, 2025年11月27日 - (亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com) - 達豐設備服務有限公司(「達豐」或「公司」,連同其附屬公司統稱「集團」)(股份代號:2153)為在中國成立的首家外資塔式起重機服務供應商,公佈其截至2025年9月30日止六個月(「期內」)的中期業績。期內,集團的收益為人民幣301.1百萬元(2024年:340.9百萬元)。公司權益持有人應佔虧損為人民幣55.1百萬元(2024年:36.2百萬元)。虧損增加主要是由於經濟增長放緩以及建築業疲弱導致收益減少所致。截至2025年9月30日,集團管理的塔式起重機總數為1,135台。集團的使用總噸米由截至2024年9月30日止期間的1,637,740減少至期內的1,414,422。於2025年9月30日,集團有331個在建項目,未完成合同總價值約為人民幣666.3百萬元,手頭項目共有58個,預計合同總價值約為人民幣283.9百萬元。截至2025年9月30日的六個月內,國內經濟面臨持續增長壓力,導致工程機械行業需求長期不振。同時,塔式起重機每噸米平均每月服務價格的下降,加劇了市場供需矛盾,致使行業競爭空前激烈。為積極應對國內市場需求疲軟與行業競爭加劇的挑戰,集團正持續推進業務結構優化與市場多元化佈局。戰略上,一方面繼續降低國內房地產板塊的業務佔比,轉而加大對火電、核電及風電等清潔能源領域的佈局,並依託在中大型塔機領域的專業優勢,重點拓展施工週期長、技術門檻高的核島與大型能源項目;另一方面,集團加速開拓境外市場,通過在印尼成立的合資子公司、佈局大灣區及香港子公司等一系列舉措,積極構建國內外雙線驅動的業務格局。期內,雖然有多個中標項目延遲開工,但集團持續投入管理平台的數字化建設及塔式起重機新技術解決方案的研發。集團相信,雄厚的技術實力將繼續使集團能夠提高運營效率並獲得更多項目,而塔式起重機技術解決方案研發能力的提升,將進一步鞏固集團卓越的服務交付水平。達豐設備服務有限公司行政總裁邱國燊先生表示:「在經濟壓力與建築業不振的複雜環境中,我們已積極調整策略,拓展清潔能源項目及印尼等重點境外市場。隨著國家政策支持及市場復甦跡象,集團有望憑藉其戰略舉措,進一步鞏固在相關領域的業務佔比,相關成效預計將於不久的將來逐步體現在業績表現中。」達豐設備服務有限公司主席黃山忠先生總結:「縱使身處瞬息萬變的時代,我們始終恪守初心,堅定不移朝著戰略方向穩步前行。在『厚德、安全、卓越』的核心價值觀引領下,我們將繼續專注於塔式起重機新技術的研發,使集團具備最強大的技術能力,為客戶提供卓越的服務。我們將繼續致力於優化業務營運及數字化管理平台,以促進資源共享、降本增效。透過上述措施,我們相信,我們能夠實現集團的百年企業願景『做最好的建築設備服務供應商』。」有關達豐設備服務有限公司(股份代號:2153)達豐設備服務有限公司為中國首家外資塔式起重機服務供應商。自2007 年以來,集團主要向中國特級及一級EPC 承建商提供諮詢、技術設計、調試、施工至售後服務等一站式塔式起重機解決方案服務。集團主要參與基建、能源商業及住宅行業的工程、採購及建築項目。作為新加坡註冊企業Tat Hong Holdings Ltd.的間接附屬公司,集團於2021年1月13日在香港聯交所上市。在「厚德、安全及卓越」的核心價值觀指導下,集團已成功建立領先的市場地位,並保持穩固的客戶關係,在員工安全意識、服務質量和技術優勢方面樹立了良好的聲譽。有關詳情,請瀏覽:http://www.tathongchina.com/。傳媒垂詢:縱橫財經公關顧問有限公司蘇嘉麗  電話:(852) 2864 4826  電郵:heidi.so@sprg.com.hk黎一心  電話:(852) 2864 4855  電郵:mel.lai@sprg.com.hk Copyright 2025 亞太商訊 via SeaPRwire.com.

Tat Hong Equipment Service Co., Ltd. Announces 2025/26 Interim Results

HONG KONG, Nov 27, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Tat Hong Equipment Service Co., Ltd. (“Tat Hong” or the “Company”, together with its subsidiaries, the “Group”) (Stock Code: 2153), the first foreign-owned tower crane service provider established in the PRC, has announced its interim results for the six months ended 30 September 2025 (the “Period”).During the Period, the Group recorded revenue of approximately RMB 301.1 million (2024: RMB340.9 million). Loss attributable to equity holders of the Company for the Period amounted to RMB 55.1 million (2024: RMB36.2 million). The increase in loss was primarily due to a decline in revenue, attributable to the slower economic growth and a sluggish construction sector.As at 30 September 2025, the Group is managing a total of 1,135 tower cranes. The Group’s total tonne metres (TM) in use decreased to 1,414,422 for the Period from 1,637,740 in the previous same period. As at 30 September 2025, the Group had 331 projects in progress with a total outstanding contract value of approximately RMB 666.3 million and 58 projects on hand of total expected contract value at approximately RMB 283.9 million.During the six months ended 30 September 2025, the domestic economy faced continual growth pressures, which led to extended weak demand in the construction machinery industry. Concurrently, a decline in the average monthly service price of tower cranes per TM intensified the imbalance between supply and demand in the market, resulting in unprecedented fierce competition in the industry.In response to the challenges of weak domestic demand and intensified industry competition, the Group has been proactively optimizing its business portfolio and diversifying its market presence. Strategically, on the one hand, the Group was progressively reducing the proportion of business in the domestic real estate sector while increasing exposure in clean energy fields such as thermal power, nuclear power, and wind power. Leveraging its expertise in medium-to-large tower cranes, the Group focused on expanding into nuclear island and large-scale energy projects with extended construction cycles and high technical barriers. On the other hand, the Group accelerated its global market expansion and actively built a dual-driven business model at home and abroad through a series of initiatives including the establishment of a joint venture in Indonesia and the strategic expansion into the Greater Bay Area and Hong Kong with setting up subsidiaries.During the Period, while there are several awarded projects delayed in their commencement, the Group had continued the investment in the digitalization of the management platform and the research and development of new tower crane technical solutions. The Group believes the robust technical capabilities will continue to enable it to improve the operational efficiency and secure more projects, and the enhancement in the research and development capabilities for tower crane technical solutions will reinforce the excellent delivery in services.Mr. Sean Yau, CEO of Tat Hong Equipment Service Co., Ltd., said: “Navigating through a complex landscape of economic pressures and a sluggish construction industry, we have proactively adjusted our strategies by expanding into clean energy projects and key overseas markets such as Indonesia. Supported by favorable national policies and signs of market recovery, the Group is well-positioned to strengthen its business presence in relevant sectors through its strategic initiatives, the effectiveness of which are expected to be gradually reflected in its performance in the near future.”Mr. Roland Ng, Chairman of Tat Hong Equipment Service Co., Ltd., said: “In these dynamic times, our original mission continues to guide us with unwavering clarity.

PLN Collaborates with Norwegian and Japanese Stakeholders to Advance High-Integrity Cross-Border Carbon Markets at COP30

Belem, Brazil, Nov 27, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - The Indonesian government, through PT PLN (Persero), strengthened its commitment to advancing the global carbon market by forging two key collaborations during the Seller Meets Buyer forum at the Indonesia Pavilion at COP30 in Belém, Brazil, on Thursday (13/11). PLN signed a Mutual Expression of Intent with the Norwegian government via the Global Green Growth Institute (GGGI), and a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Japanese company Carbon Ex Inc. These partnerships represent a significant milestone in accelerating low-carbon project development and expanding Indonesia's role in the global carbon market.PLN's Director of Technology, Engineering, and Sustainability, Evy Haryadi, explained that PLN together with the Government is now taking on a new role as a catalyst and accelerator of the carbon market to accelerate the energy transition and encourage cross-sector collaboration in climate change mitigation. (13/11)Indonesia's Minister of Environment and Head of the Environmental Control Agency, Hanif Faisol Nurofiq, emphasized that the partnerships established during the forum play a vital role in bolstering Indonesia's efforts to reduce global emissions."For Indonesia, this momentum is essential as it highlights the nation's capability to help achieve global greenhouse-gas reduction targets through the implementation of carbon trading under Article 6 of the Paris Agreement," Hanif said.PLN's Director of Technology, Engineering, and Sustainability, Evy Haryadi, noted that PLN—working alongside the government—is stepping into a new role as both a catalyst and an accelerator in the carbon market, aiming to speed up the energy transition and foster cross-border collaboration in climate-change mitigation."The world is progressing decisively toward Net Zero Emissions, and Indonesia is moving in step. PLN is committed to reaching Net Zero Emissions by 2060, in accordance with national targets and the Paris Agreement. To realize this ambition, collaboration isn't optional, it's essential," Evy said.Evy further explained that the government has launched the 2025–2034 Electricity Supply Business Plan (RUPTL), which targets an additional 69.5 gigawatts (GW) of generation capacity, with 76% or 52.9 GW coming from renewable energy and storage. These new assets are projected to produce more than 1,000 terawatt-hours of green electricity over the next decade, creating significant opportunities for clean-energy development."Indonesia has a tremendous opportunity to lead the clean-energy transition and drive green economic transformation through the utilization of its energy resources. We aim to be a leader not just regionally but globally by supplying ample green energy and the necessary supporting infrastructure to help customers meet their future sustainability targets," Evy added.PLN provides two key green-attribute solutions to help companies advance their decarbonization efforts. The first is Carbon Units, which allow businesses to offset their greenhouse-gas emissions through verified emission-reduction or removal projects under reputable domestic and international standards. The second is green energy as a service, offering Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) and Dedicated Green Energy Sources that give companies direct access to clean, reliable power from PLN's infrastructure. Together, these solutions enable businesses to craft effective short- and long-term strategies for achieving their Net Zero Emissions (NZE) goals."Our main products for managing green attributes are Carbon Units and Renewable Energy Certificates. RECs help businesses obtain official and transparent recognition that the electricity they use comes from renewable sources. These instruments not only meet compliance requirements but also create opportunities to accelerate decarbonization across various industrial sectors," Evy explained.Additionally, PLN is offering forward offtake opportunities for three Gold Standard-certified projects with a combined emissions reduction potential of around 1.5 million tonnes of carbon-dioxide equivalent (COâ‚‚e), including a 50-megawatt (MW) ground-mounted solar power plant (PLTS) with battery storage in the new capital city, Nusantara."We are presenting these opportunities as part of the Indonesian power sector's transformation toward a more sustainable, competitive, and internationally recognized energy ecosystem. With the support of investors and technology partners, we can accelerate the development of strategic projects that deliver tangible emissions-reduction impacts," Evy concluded.About PLNPT PLN (Persero) is Indonesia's state-owned electricity company, committed to continuous innovation and delivering the best service to its customers. PLN drives its Transformation 2.0 agenda with the vision of becoming a Top 500 Global Company and the No. 1 choice for energy solutions. This is achieved through sustainable business growth, end-to-end digitalization, energy transition initiatives supporting Net Zero Emissions (NZE), and the development of world-class human capital.ContactGregorius Adi TriantoExecutive Vice President, Corporate Communications & CSR, PLNTel. +62 21 7261122Fax. +62 21 7227059 Copyright 2025 ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com.

New micromobility concepts for increased sustainability in urban traffic: BMW Group grants licenses to the LUYUAN Group

HONG KONG, Nov 26, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) – Licenses officially granted by the BMW Group to the partner company LUYUAN Group during the signing ceremony held in Hangzhou China on November 26, 2025.The licensed technology concepts include Dynamic Cargo and Clever Commute, which were developed by BMW.The “Dynamic Cargo”Concept was the first dynamic “pick-up” electric three-wheeled cargo bike that maintains the agility and riding feel of a regular bicycle while simultaneously adding innovative, safe transport options.

ARE Unveils Asia’s First Benchmark on Bank Readiness for the Protein Transition

A critical moment for Asia’s banks to align food-and-agri lending with climate and nature targets, UN Sustainable Development Goals, and investor expectationsSINGAPORE, Nov 26, 2025 - (ACN Newswire via SeaPRwire.com) - Asia Research & Engagement (ARE) today released the Protein Transition Bank Benchmark 2025, its first assessment of how banks in Southeast Asia and India are beginning to integrate sustainable food and agriculture considerations into their financing frameworks.Titled, “Banking Asia’s Protein Transition: Financing the Shift Towards Responsible and Sustainable Food and Agriculture Systems”, the study evaluates 24 banks across Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, and India, offering a comparative view of how prepared financial institutions are in responding to risks and opportunities in supporting a protein-system transition, based on public disclosures.Building Understanding to Support a Resilient Food SystemKate Blaszak, Director, Protein Transition at Asia Research & Engagement (ARE), said, “Food and agriculture are increasingly material to financial stability, sector resilience, and humane and sustainable outcomes across Asia. This benchmark provides a constructive starting point for banks to build understanding of intersectional risks in this critical sector, strengthen capacity for responsible lending, and engage clients on emerging opportunities in sustainable food systems.”Regional Snapshot: Early Signs of MomentumAlthough maturity varies by market, the benchmark finds that banks across the region are starting to recognise food-and agriculture-related risks and the importance of more resilient, lower-impact food systems.Singaporean banks have responsible-lending frameworks in place, and DBS, UOB, and OCBC have all adopted deforestation-exclusion principles. The next steps are to enhance transparency, demonstrating deforestation and cage-free lending, and boost sustainable finance for this sector.Malaysia’s CIMB and Maybank already support sustainable palm production. They can enhance leadership across their livestock exposure through strengthening nature protection by adding feed-related deforestation exclusions and adding responsible antibiotic use and animal welfare principles to their lending criteria.Thailand’s Kasikornbank, Krung Thai, and SCB reflect early alignment with the country’s expanding plant-based and future-food sector, supporting “Kitchen of the World” ambitions with a clear opportunity to demonstrate leadership in alternative proteins and humane production methods.Indonesia and the Philippines face significant exposure to climate, nature and other agricultural risks. Banks such as BCA, Mandiri, and BDO Unibank are at an early stage of integrating sustainability frameworks for this sector. They can strengthen understanding of the need for more sustainable and resilient agri-finance approaches.India’s ICICI is taking early steps by disclosing climate-risk scenario analyses for the sector. Indian banks overall have yet to include deforestation, animal welfare, or antibiotic-use in their lending criteria, but with food and agriculture identified as a “Priority Lending Sector,” there is a clear case for strengthening lending frameworks to underpin nutritional security and climate resilience.Early Signals Emerging, Yet Gaps Remain Across Climate, Nature, and Protein ThemesClimate: Two banks have begun incorporating food and agriculture into their net-zero strategies — an important early signal in a sector where disclosure of decarbonisation pathways is still emerging. Yet, food and agriculture are significant contributors to climate change as well as being severely impacted by climate change.Animal Welfare: Three banks now reference animal welfare in their responsible lending frameworks, marking the first indications of awareness in this area. The development of measurable standards and sustainable finance for cage-free presents a roadmap for practical progress.Antibiotic Use: Singapore’s UOB has taken an initial step by acknowledging antibiotic stewardship. Expanding this into clear principles for lending evaluation could strengthen risk management, and support food safety.Nature & Biodiversity: DBS, UOB, and CIMB have begun aligning with the Kunming–Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework. High-impact next steps include extending this alignment to food-agri lending and incorporating verification of deforestation exclusions.Plant-Based Proteins: DBS, Maybank, and Krung Thai are among the early movers incorporating plant-based and alternative proteins within sustainable and transition-finance frameworks — signaling recognition of SE Asia’s fast-growing future-food markets.Looking Ahead: Financing Asia’s Protein TransitionARE highlights the importance of food and agriculture to Asian economies and the imperative for banks to establish a roadmap for reducing risk and capturing transitional funding opportunities such as plant proteins, deforestation-free feed, humane and nature-based solutions. By learning from leadership among peers and looking towards the models set by some regionally active international banks, Asia’s lenders could help drive sustainable food production with climate, health, animal, and nature protective benefits via more comprehensive responsible lending frameworks and transition finance targets.“The next wave of sustainable finance will be defined by nutrition, nature, compassion, and resilience,” Blaszak said. “Banks that act early can reduce systemic risks and unlock new sources of value.”About Asia Research & Engagement (ARE)  ARE brings leading investors into dialogue with Asian-listed companies to address sustainable development challenges and help companies align with investor priorities.
