Listed on the SGX Mainboard since December 1995, Thakral Corporation Ltd has two divisions – Lifestyle Division and Investment Division.
The Group’s Investment Division invests directly or with co-investors in real estate and other investment opportunities including property-backed financial instruments. The Group also earns income from the services rendered from originating, packaging and managing the projects. The Investment Division, through a joint venture, has expanded its businesses into development and management of retirement living resorts in Australia under the GemLife brand. Taking advantage of the upward trend in the Japanese property sector and the country’s low interest rate, the Group has also expanded its investment footprint to Japan. With the completion of the acquisition of The Riverwalk office property, the Group has extended its property investments to Singapore.
The Group’s Lifestyle Division is focused on marketing and distributing brands in the beauty, wellness and lifestyle categories, working with leading e-commerce platforms as well as traditional retailers. The brands distributed by the Lifestyle Division include at-home beauty and wellness device brands MTG Refa, ikoo, Panasonic, PMD, DermaWand, Philips, TriPollar, T3, MTG SIXPAD, Style Seat and Slendertone, skin and hair care brands John Masters Organics, Codage and Institut Karite Paris as well as lifestyle brands such as DJI. The Lifestyle Division is also creating an e-commerce retail platform for at-home beauty devices in China, in a joint venture with UK-based CurrentBody.com Limited, a leader in this space.
Greater China including Hong Kong, Southeast Asia and India are key markets for the Lifestyle Division and Australia, Japan and Singapore for the Investment Division.
