The table shows that out of the total samples of 114 manufacturing companies, 61.4% of the samples is consisted of small-sized companies that employs 50 and less number of full-time employees. The other 38.6% are medium sized companies with 51 to 150 full-time workers. The small sized and medium size manufacturing companies are divided into four main manufacturing sectors. The largest percentage of 35.1% of the companies were manufacturing fabricated metal, followed by 28.1% producing food and 21% processing wood and lastly, only 15.8% are making textile. The manufacturing sector revolves mostly in producing fabricated metal and food is is likely due to the high market demand. Wood and textile sectors are smaller in size probably due to the need of highly
-rated materials since the small sizes of the manufacturing company are the greatest. A number of manufacturers are producing small sized products which do not meet the requirements. The following table gives the total numbers of those manufacturing companies without the most manufacturers. Manufactured: 19.7%
