Q&M Dental eyes Thailand expansion with local dental chain deal

The deal values the Thai company at $77.8m.

Q&M Dental Group (Singapore) plans to enter Thailand’s private dental market by acquiring an equity stake in a Thai dental clinic chain, according to a bourse filing.

The deal, outlined in a memorandum of understanding, values the Thai company at $77.8m (฿1.95b) on a cash- and debt-free basis, with final adjustments to be made upon completion.

The unnamed Thai target runs one of the country’s largest privately owned dental networks, with over 30 clinics across Thailand, mainly in Bangkok and the northeastern provinces of Udon Thani, Khon Kaen, and Ubon Ratchathani.

The acquisition would mark Q&M’s first move into Thailand, expanding its presence beyond Singapore and Malaysia.

Following the deal, one of the target company’s founders will sign a 15-year service agreement to remain as CEO or managing director.

The agreement also includes a profit guarantee that starts at $4.9m (฿123m) in 2026, rising to $11.4m (฿285m) by 2030, and remaining at least that level until 2033.

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.
