Singapore-based feed producer Gold Coin sold majority stakes for US$550m

Shares were bought by the Aboitiz Group's Pilmico.

Agri and healthcare firm Golden Springs Group (GSG) sold 75% of the stakes of its Singapore feed producer Gold Coin for US$550m ($752.13m), an announcement revealed.

The buyer is animal nutrition producer Pilmico which is the food arm of Aboitiz Group from the Philippines.

“The Zuellig and Aboitiz families have known each other for generations.” GSG chairman Peter Zuellig said. “The partnership will strengthen Gold Coin’s growth profile and long-term value creation potential.”

Credit Suisse served as the sole financial advisor for the deal.

“This acquisition will add three million metric tons of volume which quadruples our overall feeds production capacity,” Pilmico president and CEO Sabin Aboitiz said..

Established in 1953 in Singapore, Gold Coin caters its operations across 11 countries. It is the only pure-play animal nutrition producer active in the majority of key livestock feed markets in Southeast Asia.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
