Mr. Teoh Han Boon, Managing Director of Camaroe Berhad, said, “The launch of our prospectus is a major milestone in Camaroe’s growth journey. From an aquaculture farm to becoming an integrated black tiger prawn supplier exporting across Asia-Pacific, we’ve built a resilient, scalable business with strong fundamentals. This IPO will provide the capital necessary to modernise our downstream infrastructure, expand sustainable practices, and strengthen our research and development capabilities in aquaculture. We are excited to unlock the next phase of growth and further position Camaroe as a trusted regional prawn brand.”

With a strong operational footprint, established international customer base, and clear expansion plans, the Group is well-positioned to benefit from the growing demand for black tiger prawns, particularly in export markets. We believe this IPO will catalyse long-term growth and strategic transformation for Camaroe.”
