🌿 Unifoil Holdings Plans IPO Unifoil Holdings, a company that makes recyclable paper-based packaging, is getting ready to go public. They recently announced some changes to their IPO plans. The first thing I'd like to mention is that they want to raise $7 million by selling 2 million shares, which is less than before. On the one hand, I think this move might help them do better in the market, on the other hand, it can weaken investors' confidence. Their shares will be priced between $3 and $4 each. It means they'll have a market value of about $49.7 million. Speaking about fundamentals, Unifoil makes eco-friendly packaging materials without using plastic. They have some big customers like Anheuser-Busch and Procter & Gamble. The company started back in 1971 and made $27 million in revenue last year. They'll trade on the NYSE American under the symbol UNFL. Boustead Securities and Sutter Securities are helping with the IPO. #IPO #NYSE #Investing #Investment #StockMarket #Stocks #EcoFriendly Read more at: https://lnkd.in/dRHvH9At

While Croda’s headline-making acquisitions drew attention, there was also significant organic growth and technological advancement. Food acidulant sales surged, and a new malic acid plant was constructed at Widnes using Croda’s unique technology. In Japan, Croda’s innovative Super Refining™ process set new standards for product purity, introducing the iconic Snow White Lanolin™. The early 1970s saw another flurry of purchases including London Oil Medina (edible oils), and printing ink factories in Holland and Italy. Croda France and Croda Brazil were born, strengthening the group’s global presence. In 1973, Chairman Fred Wood handed over his Chief Executive responsibilities to Ernest Tyerman, formerly head of the Polymers division – a classic example of progress from office boy to Chief Executive. From edible oils to polymers, Croda was expanding into new frontiers — delivering progress in ways big and small. It wasn’t just about expanding by buying — it was also about innovating from within. #Croda100
