GS Holdings expands into beverage distribution amidst Octopus (APAC) Holdings rebranding

The move better reflects its current business profile and activities.

GS Holdings Limited has proposed to change its company name to Octopus (APAC) Holdings Limited, subject to shareholders’ approval at an extraordinary general meeting, the company said in a filing.

The company said the proposed name change is intended to better reflect its current business profile and activities following its expansion into beverage distribution, including the acquisition of Octopus Distribution Networks Pte. Ltd. in May 2025.

On 4 February 2026, the group entered into a conditional agreement to sell all its shares in Hawkerway Pte. Ltd., the holding company of its food court and coffee shop subsidiaries, marking a step away from food retail operations.

The company also completed the acquisition of the distribution business of LHA Food & Beverages Pte. Ltd. in September 2025 and announced a proposed acquisition of Dyspatchr Pte. Ltd. in November 2025, further extending its distribution activities.

The proposed name Octopus (APAC) Holdings Limited has been reserved with the Accounting and Corporate Regulatory Authority of Singapore until 29 April 2026 and will take effect upon shareholders’ approval and registration.
