orderbook

Current/ Expected Orderbook/ Pending Orders?

- The order book of Sky Industries Limited is usually less than a month. - This is typical for the accessory industry (e.g., hook and loop tapes) where long-term large orders are not common. - The short order book is considered healthy because customers like garment manufacturers do not stock large inventories of accessories like buttons or tapes. - Orders are typically periodic and on a frequent basis, maintaining a quick turnover. - There is no mention of a large backlog or pending orders, indicating steady but short-term order visibility.
