KUALA LUMPUR: Leading flexible packaging solutions provider Daibochi Plastic and Packaging Industry Bhd continued its
growth momentum in the second quarter with net profit rising 28.4 per cent to RM6.4 million from RM5 million in the previous corresponding quarter.

In the quarter ended on June 30 this year, the group’s revenue stood at RM70.6 million from RM73.2 million before.

In a statement, Daibochi said that the board of directors had agreed to raise the group’s dividend policy to distribute no less than 60 per cent of group net profit to shareholders.
