It opened at 80 sen, for a premium of five sen, over its issue price of 75 sen, with 3.07 million shares changing hands.
Dancomech, mainly involved in trading and distribution activities of the process control equipment and measurement instruments market, offered 24 million ordinary shares for subscription.

The balance of the proceeds would be utilised for the repayment of bank borrowings (RM4.55mil), working capital (RM2.74mil) and listing expenses (estimated RM3.2mil). - Bernama
