Mega First turns to RE on expansion drive


“While exploring for new opportunities in hydropower projects, the packaging segment will be a key earnings driver for the group on the back of its massive capacity expansion in paper and flexible packaging, and also through the acquisition of a 75% stake in Stenta Film, ’’ PublicInvest Research said.

PETALING JAYA: Armed with a healthy balance sheet Mega First Corp Bhd (MFCB) plans to pare down debts further as it explores more renewable energy projects in South-East Asia as part of its expansion drive.
