Calling it quits: Petra Foods ceases distribution business in Singapore

It hasn't been making money for years.

According to OCBC, Petra Foods announced yesterday evening that it will cease its distribution business in Singapore as the business was not profitable for many years. 

As such, the group will look towards the novation of its agency brands portfolio and sale of related inventory to Auric Pacific Group, and further the development of their Delfi brand of chocolate confectionery with Auric Pacific.

"This is not expected to have a material impact as Singapore only contributes about 4% to the group’s revenue. Management also stated that this does not indicate any change to the group’s overall strategy," OCBC said.

A NOTE FROM SINGAPORE BUSINESS REVIEW

The people you want to reach are already in this room.

Every quarter, SBR lands on the desks of the founders, CFOs, and directors running Asia's most consequential companies. Every day, they open our newsletter and read our website. It's a room that took twenty years to build — and it's the one most of our partners are trying to get into.

The good news is that the door is open. We work with companies on thought leadership articles, sponsored content, industry summits across Southeast Asia, regional awards programmes, podcasts, and media placements in print and digital. The shape of the right partnership depends on what you're trying to do, which is why we'd rather start with a conversation than send a rate card.


If you have something this room should know about, tell us. We'll tell you honestly whether we can help, and how.

No rate cards until we understand the brief. It's a better use of everyone's time.
