UOB partners with Oceanus Group on its journey to become an Asian food security expert
With its strong franchise in the Asean bloc of Southeast Asian nations and extensive range of services, United Overseas Bank’s (UOB) Group Wholesale Banking (GWB) division has much to offer businesses looking to leverage opportunities for growth in some of the world’s most dynamic markets.
A winning combination of sector expertise, deep local knowledge and strong regional connectivity make it possible to provide companies with strategic advice and tailor-made solutions at every stage of the business cycle.
UOB partners with its clients to continually progress towards sustainable growth in various ways, including timely investment in upgrades or acquisitions, or new forays into cross-border trade within the Asean region as well as with Greater China and beyond.
It also helps small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) navigate economically difficult times before setting them on the path to success with a firmer financial footing.
UOB has been doing so for decades, and its key to helping clients succeed is by gaining a deep understanding of their businesses. That is how it builds the kind of long-term relationships which create value for companies and communities, and sustains the continuous process of adapting to change and identifying opportunities for growth.
One prime example is the bank’s long-standing relationship with Oceanus Group, a Singapore-headquartered food technology company founded in 1998.
Originally specialising in abalone farming, Oceanus now has a diverse business portfolio built on four pillars: food production, distribution, services and innovation.
