Venture Corp completed acquisition of $13m land site

The site will be located in Batu Kawan Industrial park.

Venture Corporation completed the acquisition of a 60-year leasehold land site for $13.0m in Q2 last year and paid $5.7m in 1H2016.

According to DBS Equity Research, development of the land is expected to start in 2017. It is located in the Batu Kawan Industrial park near Penang Island, well known for its high-tech electronics manufacturing industry.

DBS analyst Suvro Sarker commented, "Venture could benefit from specialised labour and improved supply chain networks with its presence in this area."

Meanwhile, Venture could also benefit in the long run from the adoption of new enabling technologies and applications at the commercial level.

Venture has established strong relationships with companies researching on Genome sequencing, which could see healthy growth over the medium term with increasing investments and use of MedTech.

A firmer hold on lower-cost technologies in healthcare is also likely to boost its Test, Measurement, Medical and Life Science segment.

The segment contributed 43.2% to the top line in 2016 compared to 34% in 2015. This helped lift the company from the weak performance of its Computer Peripherals & Data Storage segment.

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.
