SCGP is the rising star of SCG and a leader in the fully integrated packaging business that provides quality packaging and various services and develops innovative solutions responding to the needs of every group of customers and corresponding to the consumer growth of Southeast Asia and other regions.
Mr. Roongrote Rangsiyopash, President and CEO of SCG, revealed that SCGP has already submitted a registration statement and draft prospectus in connection with its contemplated IPO and listing its ordinary shares on the Stock Exchange of Thailand to the Thai SEC, giving people the opportunity to invest in a packaging business with potential growth. Under the IPO plan, SCGP will issue and offer no more than 1,374,000,000 ordinary shares, such shares will be allocated as follows: (1) up to 1,194,800,000 newly issued ordinary shares in connection, representing up to 27.7% of the total issued shares of SCGP after the offering of newly issued ordinary shares (not including the number of newly issued ordinary shares of SCGP set aside for the subscription by the Over-Allotment Agent in case of exercise of an over-allotment option), and (2) up to 179,200,000 over-allotment shares, representing up to 15.0% of the total number of shares issued and offered for sale in the IPO.

This will be a great opportunity for SCG to benefit from the operations of SCGP which is expected to create value from potential growth in the future.
“SCGP initially aims to use the proceeds from capital raised from the initial public offering (IPO) in investing in business expansion by expanding the production capacity of SCGP, mergers and acquisitions, loans repayment, and working capital for the operation of the business. SCGP plans to expand its investment in both domestic and international markets to support the growth of the packaging market, specifically in Southeast Asia which has had high growth rates in the areas of consumer products packaging, food service products, and products traded through E-commerce. In this regard, SCG will provide updates on any further progress of SCGP’s IPO plan” said Mr. Roongrote.
