China Steel Structure Corp. (CSSC), one of the major steel structure makers and the subsidiary company of Taiwan's China Steel Corp., has announced its third-quarter combined sales revenue was NT$5.177 billion, down by 1.7% from a quarter ago. However, its gross sales profit rate has risen from 3.31% in the second quarter to become 3.66% in the third quarter. To look into the fourth quarter, CSSC said the company currently still owns the in hand orders from TSMC's new plant project and the shopping mall project from Tainan Spinning Co. Therefore, its fourth-quarter sales will still get the strong support. Also, CSSC said the company's order for the first quarter of 2014 has been full booked. The company has already started its second-quarter orders collection and CSSC said it seems more orders in 2014 will come from private construction projects and less from government's released projects.
