Saint-Cloud, 1 July 2024 –
Elis, the global leader in circular services at work, today
announces the acquisition of 100% of Wonway Manufacturing SDN. BHD.
(« Wonway ») in Malaysia.
Founded in 1984, Wonway provides reusable
garments services in Cleanroom to mainly international groups
operating in semi-conductors, medical devices, and chemicals
industries. The group employs around 200 employees and can address
the entire Malaysian territory thanks to 3 specialized laundries,
located in the regions of Kuala Lumpur, Penang, and Malacca.
In 2023, Wonway delivered revenue close to 29
million ringgits (c. €5.9m), with an EBIT margin of c. 15%.
The acquisition will be consolidated from 1 July 2024.
Malaysia is a country of around 34 million
inhabitants. The country is ranked as one of the best emerging
countries in terms of business environment and is the 4th largest
trading partner of France in Southeast Asia. Finally, the country
is the 2nd largest contributor to GDP per capita of the ASEAN
(Association of Southeast Asia Nations) region after Singapore,
with +5% growth expected in 2024.
Commenting on the announcement, Xavier
Martiré, Chairman of the Management Board of Elis,
said:
« With the acquisition of Wonway, Elis continues
its growth strategy and expand its network to the Asian continent.
This small acquisition will enable Elis to get familiar with the
local market. Wonway benefits from both the high profitability of
the Cleanroom activity, and the dynamism of one of the best
economies of Southeast Asia. Thus, we are particularly confident
regarding Wonway’s growth outlook and we are pleased to welcome its
200 employees, along with its Management who will remain in place.
