ST Electronics completes acquisition of PM-B

ST Electronics' takeover of PM-B will improve the former’s data centre and cloud computing business.

ST Engineering on Wednesday announced that ST Electronics (Info-Software Systems) Pte. Ltd. (STEE-InfoSoft) has acquired the remaining 30% equity stake in PM-B Pte Ltd (PM-B) from the other existing shareholder, Mr Nicky Ting, for a total cash consideration of S$2m. The purchase consideration was arrived at on a willing buyer willing seller basis taking into consideration PM-B's current performance. With the acquisition, PM-B becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of STEE-InfoSoft, which in turn is a wholly owned subsidiary of ST Electronics, the electronics arm of ST Engineering.

PM-B, which was established in 1991, specialises in the design and implementation of mission critical, customised data centres, and disaster recovery facilities of up to Tier 3 plus standards. Leveraging ST Electronics' capabilities, PMB has successfully started data centre co-location service, according to a ST Engineering report.

As a wholly owned subsidiary, PM-B will augment ST Electronics' established track record in mission critical systems, forming a strong platform to grow ST Electronics' data centre and cloud computing business.

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.
