SPEECH BY MR LEE YI SHYAN, MINISTER OF STATE FOR TRADE & INDUSTRY AND MANPOWER AT THE OSIM INTERNATIONAL LTD 30TH ANNIVERSARY GALA DINNER ON 28 FEBRUARY 2010 AT SHANGRI-LA HOTEL AT 730PM

I am delighted to join you tonight to celebrate OSIM’s 30th Anniversary. From its beginnings as a trading company in household goods in 1980, OSIM has transformed itself into a top leader in branded healthy lifestyle products in Asia. Over the past three decades, OSIM’s revenue has grown from $31 million in 1990 to $477 million in 2009. But the path to success has not always run smooth for OSIM and what I find particularly note-worthy is OSIM’s positive response to business challenges and economic downturns throughout its 30 year history. Take for example, OSIM’s restructuring efforts in the last two years to improve their product strategies and sales processes. This has enabled OSIM to return to an annual profit of S$38 million before tax in 2009, versus a S$92 million loss just a year ago.
