COMPANY BACKGROUND Hok Lai Timber (M) Sdn. Bhd. was first established as a sawmill company in 1992, founded by the late Mr. Per Eng Lee. During the starting years, Hok Lai Timber was one of the biggest company that supplied Sawn Timber to local exporters. At the same time, our company also started a business of plywood factory, and our products were certified by PEFC. In 1997-1998, various industries were greatly affected by financial turmoil, which caused the great depression of the country. Our late founder Mr. Per Eng Lee decided to find more opportunities outside of Asia, therefore, he went to the Arab Saudi and staying in a strange place for month. Finally, he made the first export business to Middle East country with his wisdom and courage, and the company also received a lot of orders, which not only resolved the crisis at the time, but also took the company to the next level.

Besides, in order to ensure our price is competitive enough, we had applied for a logging license to get the raw material by ourselves and with that we have started the log trading business. In the year of 2008, we started sapling cultivation and tree planting, it helped to expand our range of services.

We did our best in recycling wood waste, like wood chips, waste veneer
