The group says that revenue increase was across all of the segments except for its switchboard segment.
The increase in the cable and wire segment was due to growth in public sector construction activities and data center developments in Singapore. In Malaysia and Vietnam, revenue improvements were due to exports to the Philippines and Cambodia.
The electrical material distribution segment saw an increase from the building and infrastructure (BIF) cluster, chemical, oil & gas (COG) cluster, marine (MAR) cluster and electronic
(ELN) cluster supported by the growth of these clusters’ activities in Singapore and Malaysia.
