DOMS IPO: Indian Pencil Maker to Raise $300 Million

DOMS IPO has been approved by the board of DOMS Industries, an Indian stationery business that is predominately held by Fabbrica Italiana Lapis ed Affini.

The company produces a wide variety of writing and drawing instruments in addition to pencils, pens, erasers, sharpeners, and other stationery items. With activities in more than 50 nations, DOMS has a truly worldwide footprint.

The IPO is a key accomplishment for DOMS and will aid in funding its expansion strategies. The company intends to strengthen its marketing and sales activities, engage in research and development, and increase its manufacturing capacity with the money raised from the IPO.
