This transaction marks a significant corporate milestone for BABY, a leading Indonesia Stock Exchange (IDX)-listed retailer and distributor specializing in the baby and kids product category with a strong omnichannel platform.
BABY has successfully completed the acquisition of EGI, a leading distributor of toys and children’s products that holds a portfolio of prominent global brands and operates an extensive distribution network spanning across Indonesia.
