All of the group’s core business segments posted double-digit growth with the exception of general equipment rental, which was hurt by a weak first-half performance.

    Crane rental grew 12 percent to SG$184.9 million, led by the tower crane rental division, which grew 52 percent to SG$12.9 million, with particularly strong performance in China. Tat Hong’s Japan division was impacted by the earthquake and tsunami. Tat Hong donated SG$300,000 to the Japan disaster relief fund through the Singapore Red Cross.

    “We remain hopeful of a brighter outlook in FY2012 should market conditions remain unaffected by any sudden adverse natural or economic occurrences,” said Roland Ng, president and group CEO of Tat Hong Holdings.
