LL Knickerbocker Consolidation -2: Sees 'Increased Margins'

LAKE FOREST, Calif. (Dow Jones)--L.L. Knickerbocker Co. (KNIC) will consolidate its Taiwan, Hong Kong and China offices into one operation in ShenZhen, China.

The combined operations will yield "increased margins," the company said.

In a press release Thursday, the company said the new operation will focus on the expansion of non-jewelry product lines and function as a liaison between Knickerbocker's U.S. offices and Far East manufacturing partners.

Knickerbocker said it will also move its Thailand operation's non-jewelry products to the operation in China, reducing its need for outside sourcing and quality assurance contracts.

In addition, the company said it expects to complete a silver manufacturing facility in Bangnan, Thailand by the end of March. As a result of the expansion the operation will receive an additional three years of tax-free status.

L.L. Knickerbocker operates a collectible products unit, a jewelry unit and an investment unit.
