Once upon the time, Mieco was owned by the Multi-Purpose group. The company was the market leader in chipboard production. Mieco then was flushed with a pile of cash of more than RM150 million, paid dividend regularly and the share price hovered in the region of RM2+.
Somewhere along the timeline, Mieco came under the control of a Pakistani through the parent company, Bandaraya. The new owner emptied Mieco's coffer of RM150 million and borrowed another RM150 million to build a new plant.
Before the new plant could generate a cent of profit, the whole chipboard market went into storm with product prices falling and operating cost shooting the roof.
That spells the downfall of Mieco. The company has been struggling for the last 7 or 8 years and it remains a penny stock. Is there light at the end of the tunnel?
