Hi, I'd like to suggest a couple changes to this article, but first a quick disclosure: as part of my work with Beutler Ink, I'm working on behalf of Techtronic Industries via [[Burson-Marsteller]] Hong Kong as a paid consultant. I'm looking to bring this stub up to a better standard by expanding it and adding [[WP:RS]] citations. |
|||
With the help of any editors who are interested, I'd like to begin by offering some updates to the article's infobox: |
|||
#'''Industry''': The infobox currently lists TTI industry as {{!xt|Manufacturing company (power tools and electronic equipment)}} as most sources do not describe TTI as a manufacturing company and most of their manufacturing is [http://www.marketwatch.com/story/the-ups-and-downs-of-moving-production-to-china-2010-10-17 outsourced] or carried out by [http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052702304521304576448252652233990 subsidiary] [http://www.forbes.com/sites/laurahe/2013/05/22/new-hong-kong-billionaire-horst-pudwill-emerges-as-u-s-housing-recovery-boosts-power-equipment-exports/ brands]. Neither ''[http://finance.yahoo.com/q/in?s=0669.HK+Industry Yahoo! Finance]'' nor ''[http://www.bloomberg.com/quote/669:HK Bloomberg]'' describe TTI as a manufacturing company. A more accurate list of industries, in line with other similar companies on Wikipedia is: {{xt|Power tools, home improvement, construction, and floor care}} |
|||
#'''Stock ticker''': The infobox does not currently list TTI's stock representation, which is SEHK:0669 |
|||
#'''Key people''': The current list of "Key people" includes only the North American executives. A more representative list of TTI's key people is: Horst Julius Pudwill, Founder and chairman; [http://www.wsj.com/articles/SB123316803228825095 Joseph Galli], CEO; [http://www.bloomberg.com/profiles/people/2080253-chung-chan-chi Frank Chi Chung Chan], CFO and executive director; [http://www.bloomberg.com/Research/stocks/people/person.asp?personId=8096945&capId=877089&previousCapId=877089&previousTitle=Techtronic%20Industries%20Company%20Limited Patrick Kin Wah Chan], operations director and group executive director; and [http://www.forbes.com/sites/laurahe/2013/05/22/new-hong-kong-billionaire-horst-pudwill-emerges-as-u-s-housing-recovery-boosts-power-equipment-exports/ Stephan Horst Pudwill], president of strategic planning, whose introduction to the company received press. This list better mirrors the list of key executives highlighted in the company's ''[http://www.bloomberg.com/research/stocks/private/snapshot.asp?privcapId=877089 Bloomberg Business]'' profile |
|||
#'''Revenue''': The company's revenue is publicly reported and available in several sources, so seems like a straightforward addition. In 2014, this was $4.8 billion |
|||
#'''Products''': Adding details of products would be a great way to introduce the specifics of the company. I'm hoping to suggest a section on ''Products'' to expand the article, later, but to begin, the most well-sourced examples of TTI's products are: [http://www.bloomberg.com/bw/stories/2006-07-30/techtronic-we-have-the-vision-to-be-no-dot-1 Lithium cordless and corded power tools], accessories, [http://www.forbes.com/sites/laurahe/2013/05/22/new-hong-kong-billionaire-horst-pudwill-emerges-as-u-s-housing-recovery-boosts-power-equipment-exports/ hand tools, layout and measuring products, outdoor power equipment, floor care and appliances] |
|||
#'''Employees''': Number of employees is not currently listed, however [https://www.google.com/finance?cid=674498 Google Finance] lists TTI's full employee count as 20,964 for 2015 |
|||
#'''Headquarters''': The infobox also lists the company headquarters as "Hong Kong", however TTI is now a [[multinational]] company, and per its [http://www.ttigroup.com/en/investor_relations/report/LTN201504091042.pdf annual report] its leadership and operations are spread around the world rather than based in its registered office in Hong Kong. In fact, the company's own materials and website do not specify a headquarters or central office. I wonder if it is accurate to still list Hong Kong as the headquarters? I've removed this in the proposed version below |
|||
To help making these changes, I've prepped an updated version of the infobox below incorporating all of these suggested updates: |

With the help of any editors who are interested, I'd like to begin by offering some updates to the article's infobox:
- Industry: The infobox currently lists TTI industry as Manufacturing company (power tools and electronic equipment) as most sources do not describe TTI as a manufacturing company and most of their manufacturing is outsourced or carried out by subsidiary brands. Neither Yahoo! Finance nor Bloomberg describe TTI as a manufacturing company. A more accurate list of industries, in line with other similar companies on Wikipedia is: Power tools, home improvement, construction, and floor care

A more representative list of TTI's key people is: Horst Julius Pudwill, Founder and chairman; Joseph Galli, CEO; Frank Chi Chung Chan, CFO and executive director; Patrick Kin Wah Chan, operations director and group executive director; and Stephan Horst Pudwill, president of strategic planning, whose introduction to the company received press.
