ABOUT US

The Hasil Karya Story – In the Beginning, the year was 1983, our founder Tee Ah Ling set foot in the metal-works industry after working for a hardware shop for over five years. Just two years into the business, Malaysia was hit by commodity crisis in 1985, this obviously affected business as sales slowed, so Tee had to look into other business opportunities to keep his company afloat. And at this time, he learnt that many cocoa planters were having challenges to dry cocoa after harvesting, especially during monsoon season. So he took this opportunity to introduce cocoa drying machines to plantation owners, government agencies in the agricultural sector. Then in 1988, the price of cocoa fell, and with it the demand for the machines. Instead of holding back during this challenging period, he saw the potential China’s booming economy and local fast growing cottage industries, hence he expanded his business by importing more varieties of machines, including China machines brands in the selection.

As Malaysia looks forward to becoming a high-income nation, Tee was attuned to the fact that increasing productivity will be a key priority for business owners to thrive in today’s competitive market. More than just machines. Tee was right, the cottage industries have grown very well. Many of his clients have evolved to becoming Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM), and have partnership or clients that are multinational companies. When both Tee’s sons, Robert and Ryan returned to Malaysia after graduating from university, the duo were roped in to work with Tee to take the Company to the next level. Adopting Tee’s values and culture with his business, Robert and Ryan have been trained to commit to innovation, long-term brand investment, disciplined sales execution and focused cost management.
