This strategic acquisition underscores the Company’s commitment to delivering comprehensive, cutting-edge solutions to clients worldwide.

Unlocking Synergies Across Divisions

The acquisition of UFS not only strengthens YY Group’s presence in the security market but also opens new avenues for collaboration across its ecosystem. As an award-winning provider in the security industry, UFS brings a proven track record of excellence and reliability. Through YY Circle, the Company’s innovative employment platform, UFS will have access to a reliable pipeline of skilled workers to meet its operational needs, ensuring seamless service delivery and operational excellence.

This integration into YYGH’s IFM division provides the opportunity to offer UFS’s well-established clientele a broader range of IFM services, positioning YY Group as a comprehensive one-stop solution provider in the market.

A One-Stop Solution for Modern Facility Needs

The acquisition of UFS positions YY Group as a leading provider of one-stop solutions by combining high-quality security services with its existing portfolio. “Our goal is to unify protocols, integrate advanced technology, and offer bundled services that redefine client satisfaction,” said Mike Fu, Chief Executive Officer and Executive Director of YY Group Holding Limited.

The integration of UFS into the Company’s operations will occur in three dynamic phases:

• Service & SOP Alignment: Standardizing operational protocols and performance benchmarks across both entities.
• Technology Integration: Incorporating UFS into YY Group’s digital ecosystem, augmented by smart sensors and advanced monitoring tools.
• Commercial Synergies: Creating compelling bundled service proposals for both existing and new clientele.
   

Leadership Continuity and Expertise

To ensure seamless continuity and growth, UFS’s current Managing Director, Chew Chee Keong, will remain at the helm of the Security division. "I am excited to continue leading the Security division under the YY Group umbrella. Together, we will drive innovation and deliver even greater value to our clients," he said, emphasizing his commitment to the expanded role.

Financial Growth and Market Impact

The acquisition is projected to contribute US$35 million in revenue to YY Group over the next three years. UFS, with its strong track record and reported revenue of S$8.3 million (approximately US$6.4 million) in 2024, is set to bolster YY Group’s presence in Singapore’s US$88 billion security market. The Company believes in the continued growth of the security sector, as, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.27%, the sector is forecasted to reach US$114.7 billion by 2028.

Next Steps and Vision

YY Group’s immediate focus post-acquisition includes internal restructuring and leveraging shared resources to drive business growth, harnessing their collective strengths to streamline operations and offer unparalleled value to their clients.

This acquisition marks another milestone in the Company’s journey to redefine integrated facility management with innovative solutions and a client-first approach.
