世界上最大的采矿公司之一,为了补偿它在某些新型设备研制方面的投资费用,已经创立了一个机械制造子公司。近年来,镍工业非常不景气,加拿大国际镍业公司的情况也说明了这一点。尽管急剧削减产量并试图改进生产方法,但是过低的镍的销售价格仍使国际镍业公司连续亏损了13个季度。 One of the world’s largest mining companies has created a machinery manufacturing subsidiary in order to offset its investment in the development of certain new equipment. The nickel industry has been sluggish in recent years, as evidenced by Canadian Nickel International. In spite of the sharp cuts in output and attempts to improve production methods, the sales price of nickel, which was too low, left International Nickel Company with a continuous loss for 13 quarters.
