KUALA LUPUR: Tin plate manufacturer, Perusahaan Sadur Timah Bhd (Perstima), sees the fluctuation in raw material prices due to the new pricing mechanism for iron ore since the beginning of this year and cheaper imports from China as the biggest challanges for the group going forward. ''
However, its managing director, Shigeki Tashiro said on Tuesday, July 27 after Perstima's shareholders meeting on July 27 that the company hopes to reduce the price fluctuation risk once its main black steel supplier, JFE Steel Corp Ltd of Japan starts production from a new facility in Japan at the end of the year.
