Oxley enters Australia with 40% stake in local construction company
SINGAPORE (Dec 6): Oxley Holdings is acquiring a 40% stake in a Western Australia-based property and construction company, Pindan Group, for A$32 million (S$34 million or RM106.34 million).

Following the investment, Oxley’s executive chairman and CEO, Ching Chiat Kwong, and deputy CEO, Eric Low, will join Pindan’s board.
