The low-profile entrepreneur is a hands-on businessman who knows exactly what he wants and puts his shoulder to the wheel to achieve it.
Over the past eight months, the 67-year-old Singaporean has been actively raising his stake in Tomypak Holdings Bhd even as he has been divesting his shares in Johore Tin Bhd, both of which are Johor-based companies.
When Human needEd Gloves & Mask , F&B needed flexible packaging . Demand surged , they have ready additional capacity to deliver the orders. While other companies in the region have problem running their operation during the pandemic.
Tomypak, a plastic flexible packaging (PFP) producer headquartered in Senai, Johor, also sees opportunities from rising demand resulting from the new norm, as people are buying more packaged food.
“There has been higher demand over the past three months, compared with the same period in prior years. Customers are also providing forecasts [for orders] for the next three to six months. This will facilitate more efficient production planning and procurement of raw materials,” the company tells The Edge via email.
Considering that Tomypak is primarily in F&B — a growing segment — it expects this year to be better than last year, not only for sales, but also for operational improvements from the transformation programme put in place in 2018.
“We expect demand for our products will continue to be strong. As the market evolves towards the new normal, there will be more opportunities to move from traditional to safer and more hygienic packaging,” it says.
Tomypak adds that shareholders will be able to see better financial results in the coming years, as a substantial part of the transformation programme has been implemented.
“This should result in much better performance. The company also hopes the trend towards more hygienic food packaging, compared with paper, will mean a larger growing market,” it says.
It adds that the plastics industry is expected to experience better growth in the immediate future.
“Naturally, with our new factory and enhanced capacity, we hope to be able to meet the expected market growth. Flexible packaging deploying new plastic-based materials that are more resistant to viruses will experience an increase in demand,” it concludes.
Useless person , DIOK also no ppl bother . Tak boleh pakai ... women also see u no UP. Just a failure complaining while everyone making good money. If I m your wife , I also ask u DIOK. Mou lan 7 yung
Based on earning margin % = 19% EBITDA approx 9m ... minus depreciation +- become nett
Not bad performance during MCO.
Based on the logic, the only reason the% is good because of lower resin & also efficiency (customers should be giving more orders ahead during this period ) they able to have more long run orders to achieve better cost efficiency.
But looking at announced revenue is only 47m+ ... Hence believe more orders were printed and only delivered after June. Should be more forward sales from overseas too as it report 33m+ . Revenue should be coming more in coming Qs.
As reported by executive director, is was only running at 30% capacity. Previous expansion expected capacity to achieve approx 130m-150m revenue a quarter.
Any potential Oversea buyer that can come in to take a major stake & fill up the future capacity . Will be a Big turnaround . ( European and other countries might be facing operating difficulties and unable to deliver based on demand as they facing control issues and lockdown) . This will be an ideal place for them to run their packaging . Cheers
Anyone attended the AGM on Wednesday ? Heard the board was under pressure to perform in coming Qs. Heard that ED discloses the order book till date achieved 88% of last year revenue . It was minuted and expecting better coming Q3 & Q4
Q12 : The sales are recognised when the products are delivered / transferred to customers. In addition, finished goods produced according to orders received (but not delivered) as of quarter end will also be recognised as revenue to be in line with the accounting standard, MFRS 15, effective from 1 January 2018. Thus far, based on the actual to-date amount, the Company has achieved about 88% of last year turnover. The Management strongly believes that the turnover would improve this year as compared to last year.
88% of rm158m sales = 139m done as per 18/8/20 Q1+Q2 = rm80m sales reported. Half of Q3 = rm59m In hand . Full Q3 projected at least rm80m ? 59m already will be record breaking quarter . 80m ? Will be a huge turnaround.. NO wonder MD been buying aggressive for past 12 months.
Based on the ratio of Q2 , 47m turnover EBITDA reporter is Rm9m = the profit margin = 19% +-
Assume they achieve 80m x 19% = rm15.8m EBITDA
Minus depreciation & miscellaneous. NP can be easily rm10m
Worse case rm59m reported . They recognized 60m for Q3 EBITDA = rm 12.8m - depreciation = NP rm7.5-8m in hand .
This should be the minimal profit ... & will be a recording breaking Q . Finally turnaround for the company after 8Q of failure ( MD confidently Selling of his money making Johortin & increase stake in this company)
Will be interesting Quarter .... Unless the Information provided by ED at AGM is false or misleading . Well , let's see ...

F&B producers, who are clients of Tomypak, were concerned of the need to ramp up supply and have placed more orders for packaging.
