NEWLY-LISTED oil and gas engineering and heavy-fabrication group Ramunia Holdings Bhd expects revenue of about RM193 mil for its financial year ending Oct 31, 2005, up from the estimated RM161 mil for 2004 as stated in its prospectus issued in December last year.

Managing Director, Arshad Ahmad said the company was confident of achieving the target as its order book currently stood at about RM120 mil.

Speaking at Ramunia's listing ceremony in Kuala Lumpur yesterday, he said the company expected its proposed joint venture to contribute about RM10 mil in the first year of operation. Ramunia will partner two companies to manufacture heavy equipment and machinery for offshore use.

Arshad said the company was also looking at expanding its marine support facilities, and would be procuring a few marine vessels.
