Sembcorp Industries sold 60% of recycling business for $6m

The sale is part of the company's recycling of capital, Sembcorp's CEO said.

Sembcorp Industries' (Sembcorp) subsidiary, Sembenviro Recycling, sold its 60% stake in Sembcorp Tay Paper Recycling (Sembcorp Tay Paper) to Tay Paper Resources, for a price of $6m.

According to an announcement, Sembcorp Tay Paper provides a range of paper recycling services as well as on-site and off-site shredding services in Singapore.

Sembcorp group president and CEO Neil McGregor commented, “This divestment is in line with our intention to unlock value and recycle capital to reinvest in growth.”

The completion of the divestment is expected to take place by mid-2018.

Previously, Sembcorp sold the assets and businesses of its medical waste division to TEE Medical Services for $20m. During the announcement of its first quarter results, the company said that the market environment is expected to remain challenging in 2018. Its profits plunged 34.1% YoY from $116.3m to $76.65m.

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.
