They have been looking out to other countries to identify suitable brands, focusing on kitchen appliances, home electricals, personal and beauty care appliances, and IoT products which they believe have the potential to be accepted by Malaysian consumers. In August 2021, they also launched their range of cookware products under their house brand “Delighto”.
Expand and upgrade the warehouse and logistics network (7.48% - within 36 months)
The brand distribution business requires them to store a large quantity of inventory they purchase from the brand principals before distribution to other retailers and/or sale on their retail platforms. This storage requirement will increase as they secure new brands to be distributed and when their existing brands gain further market acceptance. The Group may meet such future storage requirements by expanding the current CDC or securing a new warehouse for this distribution business. They intend to use approximately RM 20.00 million from the IPO to finance the cost of acquiring new lands and the construction cost of the new warehouse.

As at the LPD, they have not finalized any plans to acquire or construct any new warehouses. The exact location and size of any land to be acquired are subject to the requirements at the point in time and is dependent on other local factors such as price and availability. Any shortfall in the allocated proceeds to fund the acquisition of land and construction of warehouses will be funded via internally generated funds and/or bank borrowing.
