Manufacturing and Trading of Furniture

Our furniture production facilities span across 8.63 acres of land. We specialize in wooden furniture and are primarily involved in producing wooden dining furniture using rubberwood. Besides, we also manufacture living room furniture along with bedroom sets and occasional sets. With more than 30 years of experience and track record in the furniture industry, we are both an Original Design Manufacturer (“ODM”) and Original Equipment Manufacturer (“OEM”). The Group is equipped with advanced and sophisticated machinery and technology that enable use to provide customised and in-house designed products to our customers. Our in-house design team churns out more than 40 new designs every year, which are exported to over 19 countries. As part of our emphasis on sustainability, our products are manufactured using cultivated wood.

Process and Trading of Wood

Sawmill Operations

Our sawmill business is the Group’s anchor revenue contributor. Sern Kou has two sawmills in Kelantan – Kuala Krai and Gua Musang. At our sawmills, we sort logs according to sizes and species before cutting them into lumber in predefined sizes and selling to our customers.

Plywood Manufacturing

The Group’s plywood manufacturing operations are housed in the same plant as our Gua Musang sawmill. We manufacture waterproof tropical hardwood and rubberwood plywood. As part of our efforts to reduce wastage and as a responsible corporate citizen, we use recycled wood materials to manufacture plywood, which are then supplied to mainly customers from the local construction industry.

Sustainable Forestry

in upholding our commitment towards environmental sustainability, we have identified sustainable forestry as our new growth focus in the coming years. The team has been making encouraging progress towards this direction and our efforts are gradually bearing fruits. Our own research lab and nursery production to support this initiative have been charting good progress as well.
