[SINGAPORE] This column said last week that companies seeking to list in Singapore might be more warmly received if they operated in fields already anchored by home-grown champions.
Mi Material could put that theory to the test when it debuts on the mainboard of the Singapore Exchange (SGX) on Wednesday (Oct 28) – joining a vibrant cluster of locally listed manufacturers within the semiconductor supply chain space. That includes companies such as AEM , Frencken Group and UMS Integration .
While these semiconductor-themed stocks are not blue-chips, they are quite well-established and have attracted strong investor interest over the past year.
