Grand Venture Technology to acquire ACP Metal Finishing for $17m

The acquisition is still subject to the approval of GVT's shareholders.

Mainboard-listed Grand Venture Technology Limited (GVT) said it plans to acquire the entire issued and paid-p capital of ACP Metal Finishing Pte Ltd for $17m.

GVT will pay 90% of the consideration upon completion of the proposed acquisition and pay the remaining 10% to an escrow account and distribute to ACP 12 months after completion.

GVT will fund the consideration via a combination of internal resources and bank borrowings.

The acquisition will enhance GVT’s surface treatment capabilities, which, in turn, will deepen its penetration in the aerospace and front-end semiconductor industry.

ACP specialises in electrochemical and chemical treatment services to coat a wide range of metals.

GVT’s customers in the aerospace, front-end semiconductor, life sciences, and medical industries require surface treatment as a critical last-stage process.

The acquisition will provide GVT with the capability to provide such a service and will also reduce its reliance on external parties for surface treatment services.

GVT will also be able to accelerate business growth through access to ACP’s capabilities, customer base, and markets in Southeast Asia.

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.
