PETALING JAYA: Mieco Chipboard Bhd has entered into a conditional sale and purchase agreement with G-Force Sdn Bhd to dispose of two pieces of industrial land in Kuantan, Pahang for RM40mil.
In a filing to Bursa Malaysia, the manufacturer of particle boards said the aim of disposing of the land is to ensure its sustainability, improve its liquidity and fortify the group’s financial position.
In 2023, the group completed the rationalisation of Gebeng Plant and Kuala Lipis Plant by relocating and consolidating both operations at the Kuala Lipis Plant.
“This exercise aimed to reduce fixed overhead costs and to improve production efficiency with all the operations centralised in one location, as well as to reduce its gearing level.
“Consequently, the property has been put up for sale for more than a year,” said the company.
