The company is a wing of a local conglomerate, Shwe Taung Group (STG). The Group has presence in the real estate, retail, construction and financial service sectors. In addition to equity, IFC will also invest $20 million in the form of debt capital to part-fund the $100-million brownfield expansion project of STC’s plant in the country’s Mandalay region.
