Based in Singapore, it is a joint venture between SIAEC (SSYS) and SSYS (40%). With the sale complete, AFS has accordingly ceased to be a subsidy of SIAEC.

The transaction is not expected to have a material impact on the net tangible assets per share of the earnings per share of the SIAEC Group for the financial year ending March 31, 2024.
