We are pleased to announce that on December 21, 2018, Advantage Partners Asia Fund and affiliated entities (“AP Funds”) acquired EKO Grp Industries Holdings Sdn. Bhd. (“EKO” or the “Company”), a metal solution provider specializing in aluminum and zinc die casting in Malaysia.

EKO manufactures metal components for multinational corporations in diversified product categories such as communication, security and medical.
