NationGate acquisitions Set to Spearhead Growth

https://www.thestar.com.my/business/business-news/2023/09/01/nationgate039s-penang-factory-to-house-xfusion-global-supply-centre

PETALING JAYA: NationGate Holdings Bhd’s new customer acquisitions and business collaborations via joint ventures are expected to spearhead growth for the group.

UOB Kay Hian (UOBKH) Research said that these initiatives are set to drive growth beyond the company’s organic targets.

“Beyond the ramp-up from a low base in 2023, NationGate is also spearheading growth via new customer acquisitions and business collaborations, which could require new premises to house these trade diversion-related opportunities.

“We believe this could come from the consumer electronics segment, via active collaboration with GoldTek Technology, the semiconductor segment – assembly and testing services – computing power infrastructure and server space,” UOBKH Research said in a report yesterday.

“After the commencement of the new operations at Plant 7, the group is expanding Plant 5 by an additional 80,000 sq ft while adding its new Plant 8, which has an area of 248,000 sq ft, for a 53% floor space expansion.

“Several multinational corporations have expressed interest in taking up the facilities.”

UOBKH Research also said NationGate should benefit from its existing customers’ supply chain reconfiguration.

“The company also intends to ride on its new business collaboration with GoldTek to further expand its business and strengthen the relationship between both parties for future collaborations with more affiliates and/or subsidiaries of Hon Hai Precision Industry.

“NationGate commenced operations at Plant 7 for a few customers with an initial built-up area of 100,000 sq ft, with eight surface mounting technology lines, in February 2022, and expanded its manufacturing floor space within Plant 7 for a total rented built-up area of 227,700 sq ft.”


Moving from China to Penang

As customers' move to relocate their factories from China to Penang is about to be completed, NationGate Holdings (NATGATE, 0270, main board industrial stocks) believes that its network and communications fields will resume production capacity.

In addition, the data computing business will continue to be boosted by the rebound of new artificial intelligence and encryption-related products.

In addition, the company intends to expand the No. 6 and No. 9 factories, which are expected to be completed by the end of 2024, and the No. 8 delivery room has also been favored by customers and has been rented out.

Conclusion
