TGL Treasure Global Inc

Treasure Global Inc. (NASDAQ: TGL) (“Treasure Global” or the “Company”), a technology-driven digital commerce and fintech solution provider, today announced the strategic acquisition of a 51% controlling stake in Tien Ming Distribution Sdn Bhd (“Tien Ming Distribution”) through its subsidiary, VWXYZ Venture Sdn Bhd (“VWXYZ Venture”). This move marks a significant expansion into Malaysia’s fast-growing fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) and e-commerce markets.

The acquisition positions Treasure Global to capture 10% of F&N’s annual sales, leveraging Tien Ming Distribution’s exclusive fulfillment partnership with Fraser & Neave Holdings Bhd (“F&N”), one of Malaysia’s largest food and beverage (F&B) conglomerates. By integrating Treasure Global’s advanced digital commerce technology with F&N’s robust distribution network, the Company aims to drive substantial revenue growth and operational efficiency while strengthening its presence in the FMCG and e-commerce sectors.

Expanding into Malaysia’s High-Growth FMCG & E-commerce Markets

According to Statista, Malaysia’s FMCG market is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.95% from 2023 to 2027. Additionally, the FMCG market is expected to reach approximately USD159 billion by 2033, expanding at a CAGR of 3.66% from 2025 to 2033. F&N, recognized as one of the top five leading beverage brands in Malaysia in 2023, continues to strengthen its market presence.

This acquisition presents significant growth opportunities for Treasure Global and its investors by expanding revenue streams through integration into Malaysia’s largest F&B supply chains. By strengthening the company’s logistics, fulfillment, and digital commerce capabilities, Treasure Global can enhance operational efficiency and improve service delivery. This, in turn, reinforces its competitive edge in the market and supports its long-term growth strategy. Furthermore, the acquisition positions Treasure Global for regional scalability across Southeast Asia, leveraging its expanded infrastructure and expertise to drive sustained expansion and maximize shareholder value.

Unlocking USD116 Million in Revenue Growth Potential

Treasure Global anticipates generating USD116 million in revenue over the next three years by strategically leveraging its direct participation in Fraser & Neave Holdings Bhd (F&N)’s USD1.16 billion annual sales, capturing 10% of its nationwide distribution. This growth will be driven by the distribution of leading household brands, including 100PLUS, F&N SEASONS, and Magnolia, further solidifying Treasure Global’s presence in the fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) sector. Additionally, the company will expand its e-commerce footprint through TM Grocer, Tien Ming Distribution’s online grocery platform, capitalizing on the rising demand for digital shopping in Malaysia. By integrating these key revenue drivers, the acquisition enhances Treasure Global’s financial outlook, strengthens its logistics and fulfillment capabilities, and accelerates long-term revenue growth in digital commerce—delivering greater value to investors.
