Ziwo to acquire 25% stake in Quanzhou main infrastructure contractor
Ziwo Holdings, the manufacturer of foam and fabric materials, announced that Zhihe (Fujian) Technology Co., a wholly owned subsidiary of the group, has signed a Letter of Intent with Fu Dongli to acquire 25% equity stake in Xisheng (Quanzhou) Investment Co. for RMB160 million ($33.3 million).
Xisheng, jointly with CMTCC Shanghai Shisanye Construction Co., a branch of of Metallurgical Corporation of China, had successfully bid in 2011 to develop the infrastructure construction project of Guanqiao Park in Quanzhou Economic and Technological Development Zone. Work has commenced on the project, with phase 1 of the project estimated to have a value of RMB 1 billion.
The project is located in the north-eastern area of Nanan City, Guanqiao town. It has an estimated land area of 1,477 hectares. The scope of Xisheng’s construction activities include excavation works, levelling of land, building road and underground networks, construction of infrastructure as well as specific housing requirements.
Ting Chun Yuen, Chief Executive Officer of Ziwo, says that competition in the industry has been intense over the past few years and we have been seeking new acquisition opportunities to grow Ziwo’s value over the long term.
“Xisheng is an attractive proposition. The Guanqiao Park is a prominent national-level project that was conceptualized and implemented to help relocate industries away from city centre. With an estimated value of RMB 1 billion for phase 1 of the Project, we believe taking a stake in Xisheng at this stage will set Ziwo on a path of growth for the next few years.” Ting adds.
