| Abstract: | Dowty 'O' Rings International was established in Malta by Sir George Dowty as Malta Rubber Ltd in 1961. Buoyant international markets and cheap labour costs ensure the growth of the Malta plant which by 1975 employed over 1200 persons. Up to this time the company focused on manufacturing the orders that came from the parent company. The basic philosophy essentially was: ''We make them, what you do with them is your business.'' The oil crisis hit this industry particularly hard. Demand slumped and the company had to reduce its workforce by some 500. In this traumatic change was born the catalyst for today's success. |
