Novo Tellus, Grand Venture Technology end 'successful' partnership

Novo invested $30m in GVT in 2021 for semiconductor manufacturing.

Novo Tellus announced the recent conclusion of a “successful partnership” with Grand Venture Technology (GVT), following the acquisition of GVT by Aalberts Advanced Mechatronics.

Novo Tellus invested $30m in GVT in March 2021 to fund GVT's manufacturing capacity and capabilities.

Since then, GVT opened a new factory in Penang for semiconductor manufacturing, completed M&A acquisitions in Singapore, Malaysia, and China, and attracted new capital from blue-chip asset managers, the private equity firm said.

Aalberts Advanced offered to acquire GVT at $0.94/share, a transaction that closed in late October 2025.

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.
