1989

Our history can be traced back to August 1989 with the establishment of DET, a sole proprietorship under the name of Aik Swee Tong.

DET’s business activities were mainly in the trading of PCE and Measurement Instruments to end users in the Malaysian palm oil and oleochemicals industry. We initially sourced our supplies from local importers.

As our sales volume gradually increased over the years, in 1992 we began sourcing our products directly from foreign manufacturers in Taiwan, Japan, People’s Republic of China, United Kingdom, United States and Germany. DET’s business operations were carried out from rented office premises in Jalan Kuchai Lama, Kuala Lumpur.
