Today's announcement reflects further progress in our plans to accelerate our retail offering, a core element of our growth strategy.

"As one of the leading FMCG companies in Southeast Asia with a history of more than 50 years, SUTL has a well-established and extensive distribution network that can more than support East Imperial's growth aspirations. We are pleased that East Imperial recognises the potential value that SUTL can bring to their brand and has appointed us as the exclusive distributor for their range of mixers in Singapore. We are excited to introduce East Imperial's products, which are steeped in tradition, authenticity and originality, to discerning customers in Singapore and beyond, and we look forward to a mutually rewarding partnership with them."
