Aspen (Group) Holdings has confirmed that its US$210 million agreement to sell gloves to Honeywell via a joint venture has been “called off”, said president and group CEO Murly Manokharan in an SGX filing.
The company did not provide an immediate update on the status of this so-called master supply agreement as it wanted to “engage in a discussion” with Honeywell after a “cooling-off period”, said the Penang-based developer late in the evening of June 4, in response to SGX’s queries.
