Syarikat Perabut Bukit Batu Sdn Bhd

Information about the Company
Syarikat Perabut Bukit Batu had its humble beginning in 1999 as a manufacturer of tailor-made furniture legs for all kinds of chairs and tables. The products are made of rubberwood, and the company has a full range of designs cater to local customers such as significant export companies in Muar and overseas markets in Europe, USA, Middle East countries, Australia and Japan. Mr. Toh Chin Tian, aged 42, is a highly experienced person in the trade. He has more than 20 years of experience in this industry. He is very much a “hands on” person as far as business is concerned. After his high school education, Mr. Toh had no other choice but to start this business with his father (Toh Seng Set) and with only few workers more than twenty years ago.

He strongly believes that the success of a corporation is dependent on crucial factors such as making use of relevant experience, innovation and technology for Syarikat Perabut Bukit Batu Sdn Bhd to improve the quality of its products, services, and processes to offer clients industry-specific and value-added services for increasing cash flow and improving bottom line.

Innovative Corporate Culture & Initiatives
For the past few years, the company has a very strong strength, which is willing to take on any challenge, and it has proven to the markets (local and overseas) that Syarikat Perabut Bukit Batu is strong enough as it manages to deliver whatever amount of order to its clients in a very reasonable time. The company’s products are recognized worldwide, and because of this, the company’s performance has been increasing tremendously every year. The design team is sensitive to industry trends while the manufacturing team ensures competitive prices and customization to meet the specific needs of customers. Besides, the company is always seeking for high-quality raw materials to maintain customer loyalty and reduce the risk and cost of replacing faulty goods.

Most importantly, the company’s team has a strong bond as they trust their teammates and has a good communication, leading to better project collaboration. Maintaining effective communication ensures that management and the team below them are on the same page.

The company builds long and extensive relationship with customers and suppliers, ensuring their needs are met through active listening and understanding of the requirements. In Mr.Toh’s words, “Treat your customers like your best friends, be authentic. The reason people feel taken advantage of or disconnected is because they can feel the undertone. They can feel how inauthentic it is. They can feel how transactional it is. But when you communicate clearly to your customers, they know that you care.” He said that if they maintain relationship of interest with customers or suppliers, trying to gain something from them was not right, as customers they want their thoughts to be truly heard; they want to feel important and connected with the company.
Achievements & Impact
Syarikat Perabut Bukit Batu has made considerable advances both in production and operations since 2007. It converted the company to a limited company (Sdn Bhd) and became more systematic in operations. SPBB invested in more machinery and applied for government benefits such as Reinvestment Allowance (RA) for Company tax purposes. SPBB also produces furniture legs with the best of quality and most efficient way by implementing 5s and Lean Management. SPBB has started growing from year to year, with a yearly turnover from RM7 million in 2007 to over RM30 million in 2021.

Mr.Toh leads a team of over 150 employees. The company aims to create more jobs by expanding its business operations. A very important milestone for SPBB Sdn Bhd is the company’s expansion of factory, with the most recent one in Grisek, Johor. As part of SPBB plan, the company has begun their Industry 4.0 journey to leverage on technology. Smart Manufacturing will not only improve productivity, efficiency, and optimization of resources to continue producing quality products but also open opportunities for the upskilling of its workforce, reducing the dependency on foreign labour.

Future Direction
SPBB is currently completing its new factory that costs RM5 million while applying for ISO accreditation and aims to achieve a RM 50 million turnover per year. Moving forward, SPBB plans to purchase more smart machines, hire new and qualified experienced staff and also to implement regular training programs to upgrade the skills level of its workforce.
