SCGP will purchase 70% of ordinary shares “for a total enterprise value of not exceeding VND1.05 trillion or approximately 1.53 billion Baht (US$44.7 million),” the company’s CEO Wichan Jitpukdee said in a public statement on April 25.
“This merger and partnership (M&P) will be carried out through a strategic partnership with Starflex Public Co Ltd, a leading flexible packaging manufacturer based in Thailand, which plans to hold a 25% stake in SPV,” the Thai executive said.
This transaction is proceeding under the standard M&P procedures and is expected to close in Q3/2023, he added.
The deal underscores SCGP’s commitment to serving Vietnam’s burgeoning packaging industry, Wichan said.
The deal will “enhance the company’s capability to meet the growing needs of customers in terms of branding and marketing activities,” he said.
“This M&P would enable the synergy with other SCGP’s subsidiaries in the country in the form of cross-selling opportunity and customer portfolio expansion.”
SCGP will directly engage in more collaborative projects on new product development for innovative and sustainable packaging solutions in Vietnam and ASEAN from now on, he said.
SPV is one of Vietnam's largest producers of offset folding cartons, rigid boxes, and luxury packaging, with distinctive printing capabilities and quality.
