With over 380 engineers, Chuah said Pentamaster is still in hiring mode and is looking to have 450 engineers this year. “Generally, one engineer can contribute about RM1.2 million or RM1.3 million of sales per year,” said Chuah.
还“想”请多15%左右的ENGINEERS。
350 一个一年1.2M =420M / 4个季度（每个105M左右）
接下来1～2年请到450人 *1.2M = 540M一年，平均每个季度130M++
符合一年双位数10%+成长。

管理层有信心取得双位数成长。
A JV and an acquisition on the cards

According to Chuah, a potential joint venture (JV) and a potential acquisition by the end of this year are two things on the table.

The JV will likely be with a company involved in the business of test solutions for smart sensors, while the acquisition will possibly be a single-use medical device automation company. But Chuah declined to reveal more as talks are still ongoing.

As at March 31, 2019, Pentamaster had a cash pile of RM376.93 million, with minimal borrowings of RM3.63 million, giving it a net cash of RM373.3 million.
