By GlobalDataIn a statement, Nissin Foods Co. said the factory would manufacture “packaging materials to facilitate its business growth and development in the PRC [People’s Republic of China] and Hong Kong”. The company plans to spend around CNY180m (US$26.2m) on the project.
Kiyotaka Ando, Nissin Foods Co.’s chairman, said: “Since becoming listed in 2017, we have been actively and at the same time cautiously looking for opportunities to invest in appropriate facilities and partnership to enhance production efficiency and support our diversified product portfolio. The acquisition and the construction of the new plant will enable the group to better mitigate production costs and reap greater synergies from its production facilities operating in concert.
Looking ahead, we will continue to examine M&A opportunities that promise to boost our strength in enlarging market share and delivering considerable growth, and ultimately, enable us to bring sustainable returns to shareholders.”
