GCL's recent acquisition of Ban Leong Technologies aims to create a comprehensive gaming ecosystem by integrating Ban Leong's distribution network with GCL's gaming content and hardware, fostering initiatives like pre-installed branded gaming devices and expanding B2C offerings.

GCL Group CEO Sebastian Toke highlighted that this deal is a significant step toward building an integrated content, hardware, and distribution platform across Asia and beyond.

Ban Leong's Managing Director Ronald Teng expressed optimism that leveraging GCL's global ecosystem will accelerate growth and drive innovation for the company.

The acquisition was completed on August 25, 2025, by GCL's subsidiary Epicsoft Asia, leading to Ban Leong's delisting from the Singapore Stock Exchange on August 26, 2025.

This move may reduce market visibility and liquidity for Ban Leong shareholders and presents challenges in integrating different business cultures and operations.

Founded in 1993 and listed on SGX since 2005, Ban Leong is a leading distributor of technology products across Asia, representing over 50 global brands like Razer, Nvidia, Samsung, Huawei, and LG.

The company's core business involves wholesale distribution of IT accessories, gaming components, smart devices, and commercial solutions, operating through multiple channels including e-commerce, retail stores, and corporate sales, with service centers in Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand.

Ban Leong employs a multi-channel distribution strategy, reaching customers via e-commerce, retail outlets, chain stores, and direct sales to resellers and system integrators, supported by service centers in Singapore, Malaysia, and Thailand.

GCL and its subsidiaries focus on bridging cultures through digital and physical content, emphasizing Asian-developed IP and immersive gaming experiences, with Epicsoft Asia serving Taiwan, Hong Kong, and Southeast Asia.

GCL Global Pte. Ltd. concentrates on expanding the Asian gaming market through immersive entertainment experiences.

The press release includes forward-looking statements about growth potential and strategic goals, while acknowledging inherent risks and uncertainties.
