Olam acquires Hemarus Industries for almost $74m

The company also plans to invest an additional $6.6 million to expand sugar milling capacity.

Meanwhile Olam said the purchase consideration is towards the acquisition of the following:
• A new (recently commissioned) sugar milling facility of 3,500 TCD capacity, located in the most preferred sugar growing region of India (Kohlapur district of Maharashtra State).
• 20MW co-generation plant capable of handling coal feedstock.
• Additional licences to build a 45 Kilo litre per day (KLPD) ethanol facility and a 3500 TCD Sugar mill in Belgaum district (with 20MW co-generation facility).
• 210 acres of land which would be sufficient for sugar mill capacity augmentation, setting up of an ethanol facility and the bio compost plant.

At steady state, Hemarus Industries Limited is expected to contribute revenues of $90 to 100 million with an expected Return on Equity of 32%.

If you've been wondering whether SBR could work for your company — yes, probably.

A lot of the companies we partner with started as readers. They'd been following our coverage for a while, saw their own customers and competitors in it, and eventually asked the obvious question: could we do something with you? The answer is usually yes. The shape of it depends on what you're trying to do.

The options are broader than most people assume — thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. Some partners use one channel; most use a mix. We figure out the right combination by starting with your brief, not with our rate card.

So if the question has been on your mind, here's the easy way to ask it.

We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how. It's a better use of everyone's time.
