Manufacturing
Tool design, precision molding and assembly in Batam. Move from prototype to production without building a factory.
Our model
Long-term capital from an owner that operates.
For companies raising capital: how we invest, how we differ from funds and banks, and what you gain.
How it works
Three things to know.
01
We invest from a holding company
Capital comes from RAMHYS Pte. Ltd. in Singapore, not a fund with a closing date.
02
We are not a fund
No fund life, no exit deadline and no pressure to sell. We hold and build.
03
We operate, not only invest
We own working companies. You can use them to make, test and sell your product.
How we differ
