ACTIVITIES

Initially, our business activities were supplying industrial cleaning chemicals, and stencil marking equipment and accessories. In anticipation of the enactment of the Labeling Law (1983) and Food Act (1985), we embarked on a search for products that could meet the manufacturer’s requirements in marking their products.

During the time preceding the Act, we established contact with overseas suppliers from the USA, Europe, Australia, Japan, Korea and Taiwan to source for a wider range of marking and coding equipments, which led to our involvement in hot-foil coding and marking machines. With this, we were able to meet the requirements of many Malaysian industries in marking, coding and hot-stamping their products.

The Drug Regulation and ‘recycle’ plastic logo code further enhanced the use for our services. We realized there was a need for more professional and sophisticated marking to match the evolving demands of various industries and technology. This spurred us to heighten our pursuit for cost-effective yet appropriate solutions that is able to cater for emerging market needs and demands in various business functions.

Furthermore, encouragement from the Malaysian government towards using bar codes more consistently in manufacturing persuaded us to search for a suitable partnership that will enable us to dominate this market.  

Currently, factory automation, as well as the demand for variable information has led us to delve in state-of-the-art, high-speed laser marking and thermal ribbon printing systems.
