Procurement Hubs
Over the past few years we went through a thorough evaluation process to find the best possible Headquarters location. Our focus was predominantly on customer proximity, talent pool, supply chain and especially government support. Since we set foot in Malaysia, we have been enjoying tremendous support from the Malaysian Government and hence couldn't have chosen a better location. The better acquisition process for our 50 acres of land was accomplished in merely less than four weeks. In today's world, where time and agility has become critical, in our 30-year experience, such business support is simply unheard of.
