Thai Consumer Products Company Neo Corp Obtains $6.73 Million Investment from Finansa Fund

Neo Corp, a prominent Thai producer and distributor specializing in house brand consumer and cosmetic goods, has recently secured a substantial investment from Finansa Fund Management.

The investment, valued at 237 million baht (approximately US$6.73 million), signifies a strategic move aimed at bolstering Neo Corp’s position in the market. The investment agreement outlines a five-year exchangeable loan, which will eventually be converted into common shares of Neo Corp. Formerly known as BIO Consumer, Neo Corp traces its roots back to 1989 when it was founded by the Thakolsri family. Over the years, the company has emerged as a global supplier and market leader in household and consumer products.

Among the many popular brands in Neo Corp’s portfolio are Fineline, BeNice, Eversense, Genie, Tros, D-Nee, and Vivite. Neo Corp intends to embark on an ambitious development plan with the capital infusion from Finansa Fund Management.

One of the primary goals of the investment from Finansa Fund Management is to encourage the development of an innovative manufacturing facility in the province of Pathum Thani. Neo Corp’s expansion strategy revolves around this new facility, which aims to meet and even exceed the growing demand for its products in both local and surrounding markets. Neo Corp expects to achieve increased operational efficiency and flexibility through this new plant, which will effectively double its manufacturing capacity. This will also enable Neo Corp to better serve the diverse needs of its expanding client base.

Neo Corp Chief Executive Officer, Suttidej Thakolsri, revealed plans to invest a substantial sum of money—roughly 2.5 billion baht, or US$71 million—in building facilities in Pathum Thani. With this investment, Neo Corp has accomplished a major milestone and secured the largest cash infusion in its 27-year history.

With this infusion of the funding, Neo Corp is anticipated to accelerate its growth trajectory and see a significant boost in annual sales revenue. Neo Corp wants to increase its sales revenue from 6 billion baht (about US$170 million) to 10 billion baht (around US$285 million) in the next five years.

Finansa Fund Management has unveiled its detailed plan of action for upcoming investments. The company strategically focuses on various industries, including consumer products, logistics, technology, and food production, all while emphasizing diversification. Finansa wants to broaden the scope of its investments in order to maximise returns and take advantage of new opportunities. The company plans to close at least one profitable acquisition year and is willing to step up its pursuit of private equity investments as part of its ambitious expansion strategy.

Simultaneously, Finansa Fund Management has set a lofty goal: to assist Neo Corp in listing on the Stock Exchange of Thailand within the next three years. By taking this step, Finansa demonstrates its commitment to supporting Neo Corp’s expansion and development, positioning it for increased market awareness and access to financing.
