Linkers Industries Limited (NASDAQ: LNKS) announced it has entered into a non-binding memorandum of understanding to acquire additional equity interests in LPW Electronics Co. Ltd. in Thailand, which could raise its ownership from 20% to up to 49% if completed. The proposed transaction is intended to expand Linkers’ manufacturing capabilities and scale through LPW’s 6,500-square-meter facility serving multinational automotive and industrial customers. The deal remains subject to due diligence, a definitive agreement and required approvals, with management noting the potential acquisition could enhance earnings visibility and support the company’s growth as a multinational wire harness manufacturer.
Linkers Industries, a manufacturer and supplier of wire/cable harnesses with operations in Malaysia, brings over 20 years of experience to the table. The company offers customized wire harnesses for various applications and electric designs, catering to global brand name manufacturers and original equipment manufacturers in the home appliances, industrial products, and automotive industries primarily based in the Asia Pacific region. This potential stake increase in LPW Electronics aligns with Linkers' strategy to scale up and strengthen its presence in the region.
The acquisition of a larger stake in LPW Electronics would provide Linkers with access to additional manufacturing capacity and a broader customer base.
