On Feb 14, Mekong Capital announced that the Mekong Enterprise Fund, Ltd. has fully completed the sale of its shares in Minh Phuc Printing and Packaging Company. Mekong Enterprise Fund’s shares were sold to a Vietnamese investor.
Since Mekong Enterprise Fund invested in Minh Phuc in November 2004, the Company has grown its net profit by continuously strengthening its production execution skills and the optimization of raw material cost management. As at December 2010, Minh Phuc achieved approximately US$10 million in revenues and US$1 million in net profit.
