Spring Ram
Article Abstract:
Spring Ram produces kitchens and bathrooms, and has undergone a recovery since the early 1990s. The company has strengthened its finances and cut costs and benefits from strong orders. Spring Ram has retained its Stag furniture division, which could create problems. The company is also vulnerable to business cycles and faces strong competition in the United Kingdom. The company's return on equity could rise to above average levels by 2000 if it achieves a 22 million pounds sterling profit in that year.
