Rengo to Acquire Shares in Corrugated Packaging Manufacturers in Thailand
Rengo Co., Ltd. (Head Office: Kita-ku, Osaka, President & CEO: Kiyoshi Otsubo) announces that its Thai joint venture company, Thai Containers Group Co., Ltd. has signed Conditional Shares Purchase Agreements to acquire 75% stakes in both Dyna Packs Company Limited and Orient Containers Company Limited, corrugated packaging manufactures operating in Samutsakorn.
Further growth of corrugated demand in Thailand can be expected as many Japanese companies choose the country as their manufacturing base in the ASEAN region, and as national income increases. The acquisition will increase the Rengo Group's corrugated box annual production capacity in Thailand to 801,000 tons and the number of corrugated production plants to 13.
The corrugated packaging business in Southeast Asia is an important strategic focus for the overseas business of the Rengo Group—which aims to be a “General Packaging Industry” (GPI)—and Rengo will work to further enhance its corrugated packaging supply system in the region.
