New Equipment a Boon for LTL?
7 January
By Desmond Xueling
Tucked into u busy industrial area in Singapore, the LTL manufacturing facility is small, gray, and unassuming. But the building's nondescript exterior masks an abundance of color and activity inside. Early on a sunny December morning, two enormous new textile-printing machines were already churning out the largest swaths of fabric ever processed by the factory.
“Each machine is well over three meters wide,” said LTL’s Felicity Tong, who accompanied us on a tour of the factory floor. “Our machine operators are still learning to use the machines effectively, as you can sec from this pile of rejected pieces,” Ms. Tong remarked. “The machines are efficient, hut mastering them is posing some challenges for our work crews.”
The machines come with the potential for big profits. Company CEO Ravinder Kapur commented that the demand for his company’s fabrics has grown in recent years. “These machines will allow us to print on vinyl and other materials that we had lacked the resources to work with,” he said. “We’re very pleased to be able to satisfy client demand.”

Questions 23-26 refer to the following article.
Airport Expansion Continues
26 May-A major airport expansion project is under way in Onalia City. The project is estimated to cost $1.6 billion, and a new terminal is scheduled to open for international service in approximately one year.
