BreadTalk Group to buy stake in Thai plastic bottle manufacturer for $24.26m

The acquisition will provide access to Thailand and Mekong region markets.

BreadTalk Group subsidiary BTG Vault will acquire a strategic interest in NPPG (Thailand) Public Company for $24.26m (THB570m), equivalent to 380 million shares at 6.4 cents (THB1.5) each.

According to an announcement, BTG will buy 15% of NPPG in the first tranche before end-April 2019 and 5% in the second tranche before end-January 2020.

BTG CEO Henry Chu commented, “Our acquisition of this strategic stake in NPPG will provide us with a valuable beachhead in Thailand and potential Mekong region markets. NPPG’s access to a wide coverage of convenience stores in Thailand will offer the Group a ready distribution network for our products in future.”

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.
