EPB Group Bhd has proposed transferring its listing from Bursa Malaysia’s ACE Market to the Main Market, in a move the company says is intended to increase recognition among investors and strengthen access to institutional capital. EPB debuted on the ACE Market in August 2024 and said the proposed transfer is subject to approvals from the Securities Commission Malaysia and Bursa Malaysia Securities.
In its announcement, EPB described itself as primarily engaged in designing, customising, fabricating, integrating, and automating production lines for food manufacturing and processing companies. Alongside machinery systems, the group is also involved in the trading of cellulose casings and the manufacturing and trading of flexible packaging materials.
The company said it has met the relevant requirements set out in the equity guidelines issued by Securities Commission Malaysia and the Main Market Listing Requirements. EPB expects the transfer process to complete in the third quarter of 2026, subject to the necessary approvals.
Financial disclosures included audited net profit of RM9.79 million for the financial year ended 31 December 2024, and cumulative net profit of RM36.33 million across FY2022 to FY2024. As at 31 December 2024, EPB reported current assets of RM118.35 million against current liabilities of RM27.56 million, translating to a current ratio of 4.29 times. Cash and bank balances were RM42.7 million, with a further RM29.44 million held in fixed deposits.
Beyond production-line automation, EPB’s packaging activity spans flexible formats used across processed food categories. The company describes flexible packaging outputs in forms including sachets, soft packs, and rolls, with packaging design and print processes that can include printing, lamination, curing, and slitting, as well as conversion into pre-made bags. The cellulose casing business supports processing applications where consumable casing supply is required alongside equipment and line integration.
EPB said its issued share capital stood at RM68.9 million as at 23 February 2026. At the close of trading on 5 March 2026, EPB shares ended unchanged at 34 sen, giving a market capitalisation of RM126.5 million.
