Why ST Engineering’s land system business is on the mend

It'll expand its presence in Brazil.

According to OSK, with the pickup in the global economic outlook, it expects ST Engineering’s land system business to get back on the growth track next year.

Here's more:

Through the acquisition of manufacturing assets, intellectual property and relevant manufacturing expertise from Ticel Equipamentos Ltda, a Brazilian construction equipment firm, ST Engineering's land systems arm will be able to expand its presence in the Brazilian market.

The total consideration is expected to be approximately SGD9.2m and the group has set up a wholly owned subsidiary in Canoas, Brazil named LeeBoy Brazil with a paid-up capital of SGD10.8m for this.

The new entity will provide manufacturing support to the group's LeeBoy brand of road construction equipment to tap Brazil's booming infrastructure market. We are positive on the move and expect this new subsidiary to provide significant support to the group's land system business in the long run.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

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.
