ABOUT ME – STRATEGY AND BUSINESS MODEL
We develop new and complementary products to drive future growth
ME Group’s growth strategy is focused on diversifying our product portfolio, expanding the number of units in operation, and increasing the yield per unit. This is underpinned by our disciplined approach to minimising production and operational costs, enabling us to capitalise on operating leverage.
We enhance shareholder value by investing in new technologies that develop new and complementary products and services so they can be rapidly deployed across existing and new geographies and provide a rapid and sustainable return on investment.
We use cash flow generated by our long-established operations, such as photobooths and kiosks, to invest in future growth.
