Acquiring Vietnamese Corrugated Plants Completed
Rengo Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Kita-ku, Osaka; President & CEO: Kiyoshi Otsubo) announces that Thai Containers Group Co., Ltd. (“TCG”), 30% owned by Rengo, has completed the acquisition of three group companies on July 5 that are part of Alcamax Packaging (Vietnam) Joint Stock Company (“Alcamax”), a corrugated box manufacturer in Vietnam.
This acquisition is based on the Share Transfer Agreement concluded by TCG with Malaysian company Golden Frontier Bhd, the former owner of Alcamax, on January 18, 2011. As a result of this acquisition, monthly corrugated packaging production capacity of the Rengo Group in Vietnam will be increased from 7.0 million m2 to 14.5 million m2. Rengo has enhanced its corrugated supply network through business locations in Ho Chi Minh City as well as in Hanoi.
With containerboard, corrugated boxes and heavy duty packaging, we can anticipate continued development of our packaging business in Vietnam, which is experiencing remarkable economic growth and a critical country for the overseas strategy of the Rengo Group.
