Besides, RM 1,134 millions in hands, another RM 100 millions sukuk will be in hands to start building the Glove business in next month in a rented factory..
It is still preliminary stage as they have to install the equipment, buying raw materials, employ around 600 staff and get approval from all the relevant authorities.
One thing is sure, that Mah Sing is a reputable company locally and internationally, so they will not create rumours and give empty promises to the share holders and retailers...
They are not like those super penny company every now and then giving fake news on health care business like vaccine, gloves, face masks and PPE products...
KUALA LUMPUR: Property group Mah Sing Group Bhd has proposed to diversify its core businesses to include the manufacturing and trading of gloves and related healthcare products.
In its statement to Bursa Malaysia on Thursday, it said its indirect unit Mah Sing Healthcare Sdn Bhd (MSHB) will buy 12 new gloves production lines which can produce up to 3.68 billion pieces of gloves a year.
It said glove production would be carried out in Klang where the MSHB had entered into a tenancy agreement with Minho Kilning (Klang) Sdn Bhd to occupy a warehouse in Kawasan Perindustrian Ladang Sungai Puloh.
Mah Sing said the diversification was to enhance the group’s medium-term financial performance by tapping into the global market to reduce the over reliance on the domestic market for its property business in view of the cyclical nature of the property sector.
“The group anticipates that the proposed diversification can help to mitigate potential downside risk of the group arising from the wide-ranging effects of the coronavirus disease (Covid-19) to the local and global economy," it said.
It also said the group has over 40 years of experience in the manufacturing of plastic moulded products which had contributed to a steady stream of income over the years to the group.
Mah Sing added there are potential synergies to be derived among the gloves business, plastic business and property business.
“The gloves business can leverage on the existing processes from the plastic business such as the raw materials procurement, quality control, research and development, logistics and supply chain planning and from the property business, reliance can be placed on the strength of the branding and marketing, business development, project planning and human resource divisions, ” it said.
Mah Sing said once it has received shareholders’ approval for the diversification, additional funding would be required for the operation of its gloves business.
“Such financial commitment is expected to be funded via internally generated funds (including those to be generated from the initial operations of the gloves business), bank borrowings, the proposed issuance of up to RM100mil nominal value of seven-year redeemable convertible sukuk Murabahah announced on Sept 24 and/or other fund raising exercises to be undertaken in the future, ” it said.
All those small company venture gloves I dare say they die wan. But this is mah sing, back by healthy property business and alot of asset. They got firepower to compete
There's room for a 5th big glove player.... but production starts only next year means they will miss out a lot of the "action"... holders will have to wait till next June or August to see revenue contribution from their gloves venture... meanwhile, share price may not fly now that news is out.... good for long term investment only with potential huge returns if they can really become the big 5th.
Maintain BUY with new TP of MYR1.28 from MYR0.91, 75% upside and c.3% yield. We are positive on management’s diversification effort into the glove business. The new business should add resilience to the cyclical earnings from the property development. The 12 new production lines, costing c.MYR150m, are expected to commence operations from Apr 2021 progressively. Earnings next year will likely see a quantum leap as earnings from the glove business start to kick in. We raise our FY21F- 22F earnings by 56% and 126%.
Details on the new investment. Mah Sing announced that it is diversifying into glove manufacturing starting next year. The first phase will involve 12 new production lines – six of which will commence in 2Q21 and the remainder in 3Q21. The production plant will be located in Kapar, Klang, close to other glove players. Management guided that the indicative orders it received thus far have exceeded its planned capacity. Over the near term, the plant will focus on producing nitrile gloves, given the high demand.
Funding sources. The investment size of MYR150m is not overly taxing in our view. Mah Sing is currently in a net cash position (excluding perpetual securities). Hence, the capital outlay can be easily funded via internal funds, bank borrowings and the recent issuance of MYR100m convertible sukuk.
Long-term plan for glove business. While it can leverage on its existing processes in raw materials procurement, quality control etc in its plastic manufacturing business, Mah Sing plans to recruit a team of engineers and chemists and about 600 employees with relevant gloves manufacturing experience for its new business. In the longer run, management aspires to grow the business with 100 production lines, producing 30bn pieces of gloves, and be one of the country’s Top 5 glove producers. Eventually, the business can be carved out for listing.
really sour grape. even mahsing also want involve glove ==.. every company want to involve glove soon Malaysia everywhere glove. why nowsaday bosses macam ini. stick with your core busness property ma == only want to do glove business when seeing TG SPX earned huge profit. what a chinaman boss hahahaha 16/10/2020 8:50 AM
anthonytkh, thank you for sharing, new TP of RM 1.28 is rather conservative, once it starts glove production in 2nd quarter 2021 and eventually becomes the largest glove producer with the same ranking of Top Glove, Hartalega and Supermax, the TP will be higher and higher..
Better focus own business dont become a later comer as glove are not simply want to do then can earn money one as it involve lot skills, material and technologies.
With Hugh amount of cash holdings and good management teams, there is nothing to stop it from the success in starting the Glove manufacturing business..
Those who complained here have topglove shares lah, they scared Mahsing eats their piles ahhahaa, don't worry la there is enough room for 5th players. Harta boss said 3 years of glove shortage
According to Mah Sing it has signed letter of intend from prospective customers with cumulative indicative orders of 9.41 billions pieces, which is more than it's planned annual capacity of the year 2021 onwards...
Eventually Mah Sing will continue to expand the Gloves production lines until it reaches 100 billions pieces annually and the targetid to get the plastics and gloves business entity listed...
To those that say Mah Sing should stick to properties, my opinion is they are not businessmen/entrepreneurs. Remember TS LHK started in plastics. Should he then have stuck to just plastic?

Mah Sing started from a small factory in Taman Ehsan, Kepong to be what they are today. They know what they are doing.
