Nayuki Holdings Limited (SEHK:2150) is in urgent need of acquiring a ready-to-drink (RTD) production line due to the recent sharp increase in sales of ready-to-drink products, Sina Finance reported on April 26, 2022. The company is supposedly looking to invest between CNY 500 million to CNY 1 billion ($76 million – $152 million) in the production. According to an internal picture of a financing consultant acquired by Sina Finance, the specific requirements of the “listed company” for its RTD production line are: the production capacity reaches 70-80 million boxes/year; 8-12 production lines; aseptic cold filling, high automation level and a team with more than 10 years of factory management experience.

That “listed company” is the Nayuki Holdings Limited. A few weeks ago, Nayuki set up its own investment company. According to Tianyancha, Shenzhen Meihao Own Power Investment Co.

Ltd. was established on March 28th. According to shareholder information, the company is wholly-owned by Shenzhen Pindao Catering Management Co. Ltd., an affiliated company of Nayuki.

The registered capital is CNY 10 million. Regarding the planned acquisition of a RTD production line, Nayuki's spokesperson responded to Sina Finance, saying that the company is indeed vigorously developing its bottled beverage business. In 2021, the Nayuki Beverage tech firm was established and seven bottled tea products were launched to market.

But the person clarified that it would not be easy to confirm the investment matters rumored on the Internet yet.
