ABOUT ME – STRATEGY AND BUSINESS MODEL

We develop new and complementary products to drive future growth

ME Group’s business strategy is focused on diversifying its product portfolio, expanding the number of units in operation, and increasing the yield per unit, while minimising production and operational costs.

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.

Our key investment priorities

ME Group plans to grow these business areas through organic growth, new product development, and selected bolt-on acquisitions which meet the Group’s return-on-investment criteria. Laundry and food are expected to contribute an increasing proportion of total Group revenue and profit alongside the photobooth contribution.
