Ping Edge to expand product range amid rising market demand
KUALA LUMPUR: E-commerce foodservice and kitchen equipment supplier Ping Edge Technology Bhd plans to expand its product range to cater to a broader target market in response to evolving consumer demands.
In a statement today, the company said the expansion includes new categories such as bakery equipment, food processors, kitchenware, bar supplies and cooking utensils, with potential additions including tableware, crockery and cutlery to complement existing offerings.
"We also aim to upgrade our digital platforms by enhancing functionality and user experience. Planned improvements include integrating business intelligence tools to strengthen the capabilities of both our online platforms, adding a bidding function on Murah Kitchen, and refining site navigation and responsiveness.
"Additionally, we are intensifying digital marketing efforts and strengthening customer service touchpoints to build trust and encourage repeat usage,' it said.
Earlier today, the company made a successful debut on the LEAP Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Bhd.
At the opening bell, Ping Edge's share price stood at 24 sen, representing a 4.3 per cent premium over the issue price of 23 sen.
Managing director Soh Yeow Seng said the food and beverage industry continues to grow in tandem with the rising population and increased disposable income.
He said that to capitalise on this favourable environment, the company plans to set up three new showrooms with storage facilities in Negeri Sembilan, Johor, and Penang.
"This will enhance accessibility for customers outside the central region, improve service coverage, and shorten delivery lead times, while complementing our online-first strategy by allowing customers to physically experience our products with on-site guidance.
"Operations in the Negeri Sembilan and Johor outlets are expected to commence in the third quarter of 2025,' he added. - Bernama

Bursa Malaysia Publicly Reprimands MCOM For Failing To Submit Audited Financials
BUSINESS KUALA LUMPUR, Aug 8 (Bernama) -- Bursa Malaysia Securities Bhd (Bursa Malaysia) has publicly reprimanded MCOM Holdings Bhd for failing to announce its annual audited financial statements (AFS) for the 18-month financial period ended June 30, 2024, by the Oct 31, 2024 deadline. Bursa Malaysia said MCOM was found in breach of LEAP Market listing requirements (LEAP LR) for not issuing the audited financial statements together with the auditors' and directors' reports within the stipulated timeframe. 'As of now, MCOM has yet to announce the AFS 2024,' it said in a stock exchange filing. 'Bursa Malaysia views the breach seriously as timely submission of financial statements is a fundamental obligation of listed companies and of paramount importance in ensuring an orderly and fair market for securities traded on Bursa Malaysia Securities and is necessary to aid informed investment decisions,' it said. The stock exchange regulator noted that MCOM attributed the delay to insufficient and inexperienced accounting staff, high turnover, and the resignation of its external auditors on Oct 29, 2024, over unsettled audit fees. "These reasons do not justify the delay, as all listed companies are required to have the necessary funds and resources, including sufficient and available finance and accounting staff, to prepare their financial statements and ensure compliance with the listing requirements. 'MCOM also failed to demonstrate reasonable efforts, including paying the outstanding audit fees to the external auditors, to enable the commencement of the audit and the issuance of the AFS 2024 by the due date,' it said. Bursa Malaysia said that de-listing procedures have been initiated against MCOM, but it has 'decided to defer the de-listing on the condition that the company announces the AFS 2024 on or before Aug 31, 2025, as represented by MCOM.' The extension also took into account that MCOM had appointed a new auditor on May 21, 2025, it added. -- BERNAMA
