AIC Corp Bhd, Malaysia's second largest distributor and maker of semiconductors by sales, expects to return to the black this year after suffering a net loss in its financial year ended Dec 31, 2003.
President and chief executive officer Mohamad Ariff Puteh said there was a gradual but definite shift in the company's operations toward the making of end products with higher margins such as thin film transistor-liquid crystal displays (TFT-LCD) and plasma display panels (PDP) televisions and monitors.
