The asset acquisition is expected to be completed in the third quarter this year, helping the company improve product sales, including offset folding cartons, rigid boxes and luxury packaging products.
Wichan Jitpukdee, Chief Executive of SCGP, said that the company will continue to expand its business into markets with good business opportunities and Vietnam is a high-potential market with growing demand for packaging products.
