Long-term plans cost money, which Desmi’s final result from 2012 shows. 2012 was the first time Desmi saw a deterioration compared with the last five years. However, this does not change the fact that the entire basis production in the long term will be moving to China, in which the company already has two factories in Suzhou outside of Shanghai as well as co-operations with several sub-suppliers. In order to secure the supply, Desmi established its own bronze foundry in Xuancheng in southern China last year.
