Production booster: BP Plastics\u2019 new stretch film machine at its plant in Batu Pahat. (Inset) Group MD Lim Chun Yow.<\/span><\/p>\n

PETALING JAYA: BP Plastics Holdings Bhd (BPP), one of the largest polyethylene filmmakers in Asia, is ramping up production amid the ringgit turmoil and volatile climate.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Johor-based company beefed up its plastic operations with a RM13.5mil investment in <\/span>a new 3m cast stretch film machine from Austria, a move to increase production capacity <\/span>and boost exports.<\/span><\/p>\n

Group managing director Lim Chun Yow said that with the commissioning of the machine <\/span>in June, it intended to lift export sales to 80% of total revenue for the financial year 2015, <\/span>from last year\u2019s 78%.<\/span><\/p>\n

The bulk of BPP\u2019s exports was denominated in US dollar, followed by Singapore dollar and <\/span>euro. The domestic market contributed about 20% to BPP\u2019s topline.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe investment is part of the group\u2019s strategy to increase production capacity and meet <\/span>with the challenging demands from the export market.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe new machine is now based at our plant in Batu Pahat,\u201d Lim told StarBiz through email <\/span>recently, adding that the investment would contribute positively to BPP\u2019s future earnings.<\/span><\/p>\n

The group has a second plant located within the vicinity as well. The combined building <\/span>size for both plants were 294,670 sq ft.<\/span><\/p>\n

Although Lim didn\u2019t wish to divulge on the plants\u2019 production capacity, it was reported that <\/span>the combined annual capacity for stretch films and packaging bags was nearly 60,000 <\/span>tonnes annually.<\/span><\/p>\n

BPP specialises in stretch and shrink films, used to protect and enhance pallet stabilisation <\/span>during warehousing and transportation of goods, apart from making PE packaging film <\/span>and bags. It is one of the top three stretch film producers in the country and exports to 51 <\/span>countries.<\/span><\/p>\n

For the first half of 2015, net profit was up 22% to RM7.8mil against a revenue that fell <\/span>9.4% to RM134mil.<\/span><\/p>\n

The group said the better earnings was boosted by lower resin costs, but the lower <\/span>revenue was due to lower domestic market sales impacted by the goods and services tax<\/span>(GST).<\/span><\/p>\n

An interim dividend of 3 sen per share for 2015 and a special dividend of 2 sen per share <\/span>was paid out in July.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lim pointed out that the falling oil prices was an advantage to the company as it relied on <\/span>raw materials like resin and various types of polyethylene materials to manufacture its <\/span>products.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nevertheless, Lim said supply and demand of polyethylene, seasonal demand for the <\/span>packaging film in the northern parts of China and inconsistent plant shutdowns impacted <\/span>the price movements of polyethylene.<\/span><\/p>\n

Apart from GST, he said the weakening ringgit had somehow softened domestic demand <\/span>for locally produced goods.<\/span><\/p>\n

To add to that, the volatile landscape had brought about some changes in the global <\/span>demand for BPP\u2019s products, he pointed out.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cDemand from countries like Japan, South Korea and China has slowed down,\u201d he said.<\/span><\/p>\n

Aside from Japan, South Korea and China, BPP\u2019s key export markets include Singapore, <\/span>Australia, the Middle East and Europe.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is on the lookout for new markets to expand to and would diversify, if the opportunity <\/span>arises at the right time.<\/span><\/p>\n

BPP dissolved Baoman Rubber Ltd in Cambodia last September as it aborted plans to <\/span>venture into rubber cultivation.<\/span><\/p>\n

For 2014, BPP saw a rather flattish net profit, mainly due to higher utility and labour costs, <\/span>on the back of revenue that hiked 17.8% to RM284mil on higher demand in the export <\/span>market.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nonetheless, BPP has over the past 10 years consistently paid out dividends.<\/span><\/p>\n

The company increased its dividend payout to 6 sen per share in 2014, from 4 sen per <\/span>share in 2011. This gives a market yield of 5.22%.<\/span><\/p>\n

BPP is debt-free and has cash and cash equivalents of RM58.5mil as at June 30, 2015.<\/span><\/p>\n

The stock is trading at a historical price earnings of 18.4 times and 0.83 times book value.<\/span>
\nIt closed two sen lower at RM1.10 on Friday.<\/span>[\/vc_wp_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
