SCGP reiterates the Company’s business potential with strong revenue from sales in H1/2022 at Baht 74,616 million, an increase of 31% compares to the same period of last year with Q2/2022 revenue from sales of Baht 37,982 million, which is an increase of 27% from the same period of last year. Solid revenue was mainly due to the increased demand for fiber packaging and foodservice packaging, continuous growth of all businesses, and the consolidation of financial performance from M&Ps. As demand for packaging in the ASEAN region has been recovering continuously, the Company is heading toward the second half of the year with aims to relentlessly pursue long term growth with quality, and develop sales channels to expand customer base to strategic and high–growth markets in tandem with business synergy to strengthen operational efficiency throughout the supply chain. Meanwhile, the revenue target for 2022 has been raised to Baht 150,000 million. The Board of Directors has approved H1/2022 interim dividend payment of 0.25 Baht per Share with XD–date on August 8, 2022. Mr. Wichan Jitpukdee, Chief Executive Officer, SCG Packaging Public Company Limited SCGP, disclosed  H1/2022 revenue from sales of Baht 74,616 million, an increase of 31% compares to the same period of last year. The performance was a result of continuous growth in all businesses, as well as the consolidation of the financial performance of Duy Tan, Intan Group, and Deltalab while there was an increase in demand for fiber packaging and foodservice packaging. The EBITDA was Baht 10,365 million, a decrease of 4% from the same period of last year. Profit for this period was Baht 3,514 million, a decrease of 20% compares to the same period of the previous year due mainly to global increase in raw materials and energy costs across industries. The Q2/2022 performance was significantly improved comparing to Q1/2022, with revenue from sales totaling Baht 37,982 million, or an increase of 27% compares to the same period of last year. Profit for this period was Baht 1,856 million, a decrease of 18% from last year, while EBITDA was Baht 5,478 million, a decrease of 2% compares to the same period of last year. On July 26, 2022, the Board of Directors of SCGP has approved H1/2022 interim dividend payment of 0.25 Baht per Share (Baht 1,073 million), which is payable on August 24, 2022. XD-date on August 8, 2022, and record date on August 9, 2022. Mr. Wichan further said that the overall demand for packaging in the second half of the year for Thailand and the ASEAN region is expected to gradually improve from the government’s policy to reopen the country to stimulate the economy and boost the tourism industry along with related businesses. Consumers have become more confident in spending on consumer goods while the demands for packaging from various industries are improving, especially demands for frozen food, canned food, and pet food sector which are expected to continuously increase through the rest of the year. All these are positive factors in relation to the demand for packaging. However, it is still necessary to continue monitoring the global macroeconomic situations such as the rising inflation, potential economic recession and prolonged heightening in energy prices, and ongoing geopolitical conflicts in Europe. As for the business direction in the second half of the year, SCGP aims for quality growth with a total sales revenue target for this year at Baht 150,000 million, while continue to prudently manage the business operations and investments for business. Total investment budget for this year remains at approximately Baht 20,000 million which includes maintenance & production efficiency improvement projects, organic expansions, and mergers and partnerships (M&P). In the second quarter of 2022, SCGP has invested in the organic expansion project to increase the production capacity of fiber packaging in Thailand by another 75,000 tons per year to meet the growing demand for packaging in the country. Most recently, the Company has entered into the packaging material recycling business in Peute Recycling B.V. (Peute), and strategically invested in Imprint Energy Inc., the USA, a producer of printed batteries with an investment of approximately Baht 105 million for 3.3% share. Imprint is continuously growing in the industry with high growth potential. The knowledge and expertise acquired could be applied for future expansion in the ASEAN region, along with potential usage of technology for intelligent packaging. SCGP continues to pursue sustainable business operations in line with the ESG framework, to achieve its goal of Net Zero in 2050 through continuous development and optimization of production processes. In addition, the Company continues to grow the proportion of renewable energy, and develop innovative products & services and solutions with consideration of the effect on the environment, while expanding cooperation network to drive ESG. Recently, SCGP has announced a collaboration project with business partners such as Kao Industrial (Thailand) Company Limited (Kao), a leading manufacturer of consumer and chemical products, to create innovative and sustainable packaging. The partnership represents an important synergy between two companies that share mutual goals in developing environmental-friendly products and creating sustainable solutions for consumers.

    Recently, SCGP and THINKK Studio hold a Design Talks webinar called “TRANSFORMATION” Waste to Value on July 23, 2022, to address the commitment to excellence in business under the concept of ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) and Circular Economy. SCGP always concentrates on natural resource reduction, the use of biodegradable materials, and the reuse of resources.       Upcycle is one of SCGP concept that waste materials are recycled through a design and innovation process to prolong the material life cycle and create new products which are both distinctive and value-added.       To represent the reinforcement of the community enterprise development projects, SCGP held a workshop in which the community enterprises in the field of handicrafts and students of design and materials science can share new ideas and create an invention from SCGP’s waste materials. Moreover, THINKK Studio, a Thai design studio, came to support them in the design thinking process and waste development.       Mr. Decha Archjananun, Creative Director and Co-Founder of THINKK Studio, told about the studio’s diverse work from interior design, and furniture design to the experiment with a variety of materials. It, therefore, became a source of interest in the value-added of natural wasted.       For example, ‘City Materials’ project that the team created a new invention by selecting 6 waste materials in Bangkok including plastic bags, coffee grounds, construction waste, incense sticks, government lottery paper, and scrap wood from cutting branches.       ‘DEWA & DEWI 2021’, was the idea to create furniture such as student desk sets by using waste materials from entrepreneurs in the industry and agriculture. The design was considered by prolongation and cost-effectiveness of using natural resources.       At the recent “TRANSFORMATION” Waste to Value workshop, Ms. Jarawee Thongboonruang, Project Coordinator, Mr. Phattharakorn Maneesilawong and Ms. Satita Saengsawat, Junior Furniture and Product Designer of THINKK Studio, shared the process of thinking, experiment and design on the transformation of 4 types of scrap materials as SCGP provided including Paper Bands, recycled plastic ropes from the blowing process of plastic bottles, plastic straws, and crushed recycled plastic.       The designers started by investigating the different properties of materials such as the Paper Band and recycled plastic ropes, which are suitable for forming by weaving and polishing in Thai handicraft styles. The cylindrical plastic tube was proper for a comfortable grip. Crushed plastic was supposed to be melted into a template and formed like a plate with a durable surface.       Ultimately, THINKK Studio formed 6 products from waste materials with different properties that we could use in our daily life: vase, lamp, handbag, tray, fan and tote bag. All participants in this workshop followed the instruction for these experiments afterward.       The workshop generated more engagement among the community enterprises and students to let them bring the waste plastic bags to the heating process until they come out in thin sheets. These sheets became decorations with colourful and unique designs.        Mr. Decha stated that the value added of waste materials began at the elementary level for individuals, such as using simple handicraft skills to make waste or household waste last longer. From the individual level extended to the community level where waste disposal and collection, waste processing must be considered.       Furthermore, waste development at the industrial level has required collaboration with a network of the private sectors, government and research agencies because the significant thing is how to redesign waste material as effective as a new design and conform to the consumer lifestyle.       Reviving the waste material through value-added may depend on the attitude and creativity of designers to foresee the result and determine how the product will be enhanced throughout the process of thought, touch and experiment with the possibilities of invention without any limitations.       As THINKK Studio experimented with SCGP waste materials in this workshop which is more successful since we received many good feedbacks from participants. It is such a place providing opportunities to share creative perspectives and skills among students and community enterprises, who specialize in exquisite craftsmanship as the original capital.       Lastly, it assured that all parties were inspired to develop their inventions. Upcycling notion should not manifest as a temporary trend but it is the key variable that will drive the future direction of product design with environment concerns.

SCGP strategically moved into the rapidly-growing packaging materials recycling business via the acquisition of 100% stake in Peute, the Netherlands’ largest independent packaging materials recycling and trading company. The acquisition enables the Company to attain an additional one million tons per year of recovered paper and strengthens its integrated packaging business, from sources of raw materials, upstream and downstream production through to integrated packaging solutions, while also augments the ability to fulfil consumers’ needs for sustainable packaging and enhances the efficiency of recycling operations in ASEAN with leading technologies. Mr. Wichan Jitpukdee, Chief Executive Officer, SCG Packaging Public Company Limited, SCGP, announced that SCGP has completed the transaction to acquire 100% stake in Peute Recycling B.V. (Peute), the largest packaging materials recycling company covering both recovered paper and plastic in the Netherlands. Payment for the 100% stake is the immediate 78.19 million Euro (approximately 2,875 million Baht). This purchase is through SCGP Solutions (Singapore) Pte. Ltd., which is a wholly owned subsidiary of SCGP. Peute’s financial performance will be consolidated from July 2022 onward. The acquisition is an important pillar of the Company’s long-term strategy to strengthen all levels of packaging business from raw material sources, upstream and downstream production through to the integrated packaging solutions. It also represents another crucial milestone in the Company’s merger and partnership (M&P) plan. Peute is the largest independent packaging materials recycling and trading company of paper and plastic in the Netherlands with a strong relationship with customers for over 60 years. With solid operation and ability to continue business growth amid economic challenges in Europe, the Company recorded a revenue of 249 million Euro (approx. 9,160 million Baht) in 2021 with a profit of 3.2 million Euro (approx. 120 million Baht) and assets of 52 million Euro (approx. 1,930 million Baht) at the end of last year. Peute currently poses the ability to competitively source 1.0 million tons per year of recovered paper (RCP) and 0.1 million tons per year of recovered plastics at their facility in Dordrecht with ongoing project to relocate the facility to Alblasserdam, nearby Rotterdam port, to double the sourcing capacity and improve cost management efficiency. (more details on Peute on www.peute.nl) Mr. Wichan says he is confident that the latest investment will enable SCGP to quickly expand and grow in the packaging materials recycling business which is one of the integral parts of the Company’s long-term strategy to strengthen all levels of packaging operation, covering from upstream to downstream production, while also enhance the internal integration of SCGPs’ packaging solutions. The investment is aligned with the growing global awareness of sustainability, which leads to significant increase in the usage of recycled materials. The ability to directly access greater volumes of recovered paper and plastic will enable SCGP to meet the surging market demands as part of the evolving consumer trends. Furthermore, Peute’s expertise in advanced waste management and related technologies would help strengthen SCGP’s efficiency in packaging materials recycling operation in ASEAN. As SCGP has been continuously expanding the diversified and integrated packaging business, the key strategic raw material for fiber packaging operation is recovered paper. At present, SCGP’s annual usage of recovered paper reaches 4.4 million tons and is expected to increase along with the expansion of packaging paper capacity going forward. This expansion will boost SCGP’s competitiveness in terms of recovered paper sourcing networks; through owned recycling stations, direct collection from primary sources and local suppliers, as well as diversified import sources from the USA, Europe, Japan, and Oceania. SCGP is committed to fulfilling and facilitating the increasing preference for sustainable packaging through products ranging from fiber packaging, performance & polymer packaging, and other outstanding solutions. Currently, the Company operates 56 manufacturing facilities in Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, the UK, and Spain.
