The AIM-listed group posted a pretax profit of $20.1 million for 2008, 328 percent up on last year's $4.7 million, on sales 141 percent higher at $250.9 million.
The company said market conditions became tougher towards the end of last year but that it was confident it would continue to grow in 2009.
"Despite the turbulent market conditions that emerged in the fourth-quarter of 2008 ... I continue to be optimistic about the company in 2009 and strongly believe that we will continue to move forward in accomplishing our goals," Chairman Gabriel Kow said in a statement.
