On October 1, The Elmet Group acquired a 4.99% stake in Masan High-Tech Materials (MSR) from a Masan Group subsidiary in a negotiated transaction worth nearly VND 3.24 trillion. After the transaction, Masan Group still held about 87.46% of MSR and retained control. The agreements announced by the two sides also cover commercial cooperation lasting more than eight years, including the annual supply by MSR of about 1,250 tonnes of tungsten, measured as tungsten trioxide equivalent, to Elmet’s customers in the United States.

On November 9, Masan Group and Sojitz announced that they had signed a memorandum of understanding. Under the memorandum, Sojitz plans to buy a 5% stake in MSR from Masan Horizon, a wholly owned Masan Group subsidiary, at a price no lower than Elmet’s investment price. It also plans to sign long-term agreements to sell MSR’s tungsten and fluorspar products in Japan. MSR plans to submit a listing application to the Ho Chi Minh Stock Exchange in 2027.
