Rajesh Exports plans another global acquisition

PTI Updated - January 20, 2018 at 01:49 PM.

Jewellery exporter and retailer Rajesh Exports today said, its board will meet next month to consider an acquisition in West Asia to expand its global footprint.

The board of directors will meet on June 13, 2016 to consider an acquisition in West Asia, Rajesh Exports said in a BSE filing.

“The acquisition has been proposed to further expand the global footprint of the company in the same line of business after the successful acquisition of Valcambi, Switzerland-based world’s largest gold refinery,” it added.

However, Rajesh Exports did not name the target company.

In July 2015, Rajesh Exports fully acquired Valcambi for $400 million (approx ₹2,560 crore) in an all cash deal.

Valcambi was owned by Newmont Mining Corporation and a group of Swiss investors.

The company has said that with Valcambi acquisition, Rajesh Exports has become an integrated player covering precious metal refining and gold jewellery making.
