says the plan to buy surgical glove maker Aspion Sdn Bhd for at least RM1.3bil will boost the group’s profits by a fifth in the financial year ending Aug 31, 2018 (FY18) and accelerate the group’s expansion into the highly lucrative segment of the market.
As it is, Aspion commands a healthy 30% gross profit margin on its business, while Top Glove’s own smaller surgical glove unit generates about 20% gross profit from sales.
