Scientex’s US bet, outlook depends on new stretch-film plant in Arizona


Scientex was among the top gainers as investors were positive about its purchase of Mondi Ipoh Sdn Bhd (MISB) for RM58mil cash to expand its consumer packaging division.

PETALING JAYA: The outlook for Scientex Bhd, a plastic packaging firm, may hinge on the company’s US investment.

UOBKayHian Research (UOBKH) said a new stretch-film plant in Arizona with a capacity of 30,000 tonnes per annum would see synergistic benefits from the company’s highly efficient manufacturing operations with savings in logistics costs.
