As of 2010, our factory has shifted to Jalan Kebun Nenas, Klang to fulfill higher client expectations and requests. In May 2020, our HQ also shifted from Petaling Jaya to Taman Bukit Kuchai, Puchong, to accommodate larger workspace and increasing storage needs.

Many of our employees have been with us for years, and are now qualified, certified, and experienced professionals who are leaders in their respective fields.

Our Founder
Many great ventures have come from humble beginnings and the story of our founder is certainly an inspiring journey.
The year was 1981, and Mr. Ricky Tan Leong Huat had just graduated with a degree in Mechanical Engineering. Finding himself a job with Matsushita Electric (Panasonic) as a technician in the consumer refrigerator department, he was only paid a mere RM200 per month. In contrast, a clerical position could be paid RM400 and above. Knowing that this would not be enough to build a life in the long-term, he began making plans, however humble they may be. Even back then, he knew that the passion for entrepreneurship was calling to him.
After a year of hard work and saving every cent he earned, Mr. Ricky began his journey by investing in a small lorry, shared by 3 business partners including himself. This investment would prove pivotal as his classmate and then business partner was a broker for natural rubber. They would operate this business with small success over the next year, till circumstances forced him to alter his course.
