On January 5th, Lante Optics unveiled its ambitious plan to venture into overseas investment. The company intends to set up a subsidiary in Singapore and a grandchild company in Malaysia, with a proposed investment capped at USD 60 million (roughly RMB 420 million).

The planned subsidiary in Singapore is tentatively christened 'Lante Optics PTE.LTD.' It boasts a registered capital of SGD 100 and is wholly owned by Lante Optics. Its proposed scope of business encompasses investment and financing management. Meanwhile, the proposed grandchild company in Malaysia is tentatively named 'Lante Optics SDN.BHD.' With a registered capital of MYR 3,000, it is fully owned by the Singapore subsidiary. This entity aims to delve into the research and development, manufacturing, sales, and technical consulting services of optical components, specialized optical instruments, and equipment. The company will prudently invest funds in stages, in line with project progress, and may consider increasing its registered capital as needed.

Lante Optics emphasized that this overseas investment is a strategic move aimed at further deepening international industrial chain collaboration and actively integrating into the global supply chain for precision optical components.

Indeed, this overseas investment is not Lante Optics' inaugural foray into international markets. To stay ahead of the curve and firmly grasp emerging trends in industry development, Lante Optics has long established forward-looking information collection outposts in overseas locales such as Tokyo, Japan.

Financial data reveals that from 2021 to 2023, the proportion of the company's export revenue in its main business revenue climbed to 37.79%, 35.75%, and 69.18%, respectively. As its overseas business expands, the company's export revenue continues to surge. In 2024, the company's revenue from overseas markets soared to RMB 680 million, accounting for 65.76% of its total revenue.

In the first half of 2025, Lante Optics' overseas business continued to be a significant revenue contributor, accounting for 56.5% of its total revenue. The gross profit margin of this business segment reached 38.76%, underscoring its robust profitability and sustained operational resilience in overseas markets.

Over the long haul, the company's products have been exported to multiple regions worldwide, forging deep ties with global top-tier clients such as the AMS Group, Corning Group, and the Apple supply chain. Its end products span core areas like consumer electronics and automotive intelligent driving.

Currently, the supply chain and assembly links of core clients such as Apple and AMS have been extensively established in Southeast Asia. By setting up operations in Singapore and Malaysia, Lante Optics can bolster the resilience and business continuity of its overall supply chain, seamlessly integrate into clients' regional supply chain ecosystems in Southeast Asia, provide localized support, shorten delivery cycles, and mitigate uncertainties and potential customs risks associated with long-distance transportation. Simultaneously, it can capitalize on trade rules to sidestep tariff costs, enhance market access through regional platforms, further expand its international marketing network, and cushion the impact of regional trade barriers.

Lante Optics also noted in its announcement that its current financial position is solid. This overseas investment will not negatively impact its main business, continuous operation capability, or asset condition. In the long run, this overseas investment aligns with the company's strategic planning and business development needs, playing a pivotal role in reducing operational risks and fortifying long-term competitiveness.
