TUNTEX (THAILAND): Inks MOU To Sell Assets to Indorama Thailand
Tuntex (Thailand) PCL has inked a memorandum of understanding for the sale of its Polyester Fibres and Filaments' businesses to Indorama Thailand, according to a report from moneycontrol.com.
"We have signed a memorandum of understanding with Rayong based, SET listed -- Tuntex (Thailand) PCL to acquire their business consisting of Polyester fibers and filaments. This makes a strategic fit with our existing Thailand based polyester business in Nakhompathom - Indo Poly Ltd. The revenue from this segment is thus set to rise from US$131 million currently to US$600 million in 2010 post a total restructuring exercise," the company's Chief Executive Officer Aloke Lohia said in a statement. "We believe we will emerge as Thailand's premier Polyester company in Fibers as well, as we have in PET polymers, and we expect our total polymer production to rise close to 2 million tonnes from 700,000 tonnes in 1997."
Terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
Tuntex Public Company Limited -- http://www.tuntexthailand.com/ -- was incorporated as a public company limited under the Thai laws. The company operates in Thailand and its principal activity is the manufacture of polyester yarn.
The company is currently classified under the Non-Performing Group of the Stock Exchange of Thailand, and is currently implementing a rehabilitation plan.
As of end-June 2007, Tuntex recorded total assets of THB7.91 billion and total liabilities of THB8.40 billion, resulting in a capital deficit of THB481.35 million.
