Allied Blenders Shares Rise After Malaysia Expansion Deal
Allied Blenders is a company that makes alcoholic drinks.
Its shares rose 3% after it announced plans to expand into Malaysia.
The company will make and sell Officer’s Choice Blue there.
The drink will come in three bottle sizes: 750ml, 180ml and 90ml.
Allied Blenders may add more brands later if customers and distributors respond well.
The company already sells its products in 39 countries and regions.
Making the products locally could help it expand without spending as much money on new facilities.
Allied Blenders also wants to grow in Africa, Southeast Asia and other international markets.
