Thakral Corporation Ltd
 PROFILE
From cameras to TVs to home videos, Thakral brings it around. The company imports and wholesales brand-name consumer electronics (mostly from Japan) throughout Asia; Hong Kong and China account for more than 75% of sales, but Thakral is expanding its sales efforts in Taiwan, South Korea, and the Philippines. Thakral also manufactures and distributes DVDs and videocassettes in China; its movie licenses include Disney, MGM, and Warner Home Video. Other operations include third-party contract manufacturing of TVs, VCRs, and DVD players. Heavy debt has forced the struggling company to restructure and shed noncore operations. The founding Thakral family owns about 70% of the company.
