ASX Announcement
Friday, 19 August, 2016
RANGE INTERNATIONAL SIGNS CONDITIONAL AGREEMENT TO ACQUIRE 19,000 SQM FACTORY SITE IN JAVA
Range International (ASX:RAN), manufacturer of Re>Pal™ recycled plastic pallets, is pleased to announce it has entered into a conditional sale and purchase agreement to acquire a factory site in East Java, Indonesia, to house a new and significantly expanded production facility.
The approximately 19,000 square metre block of land with 10,000 square metres of existing factory buildings, is located in the Pasuruan Industrial Estate Rembang and provides the required space for the stockpiling and processing of large quantities of raw materials, manufacture and housing of finished goods, and is well serviced by existing transport infrastructure.
Importantly, the site has the required space to accommodate the 14 new production lines outlined in the prospectus for Range's listing on the ASX.
Having paid a holding deposit, Range has completed the required due diligence and land search phases, and subject to obtaining the Notarial Deed for securing the industrial land use approval, the lodging of land registration, and payment of transaction taxes, currently intends to confirm the sale and purchase agreement as unconditional on or before, 9 September 2016.
The site acquisition cost, and expected cost for subsequent improvements, are in line with the AUD 5,316,000 cost outlined in Range's recent prospectus.
Range International CEO Lars Amstrup said: 'This is a hugely important acquisition for Range. Following our successful IPO, we are very excited about the phase we are entering into. This site is an excellent match for our needs, bringing us physically closer to our raw material suppliers and customers in Java, as well as the container port of Surabaya.
As planned, the site enables us to transition to commercial scale production and accommodate at one site the 14 production lines, together with raw material preparation and finished goods storage.'
