MITI in the News - Ministry of International Trade and … Weekly Bulletin/MITI...Sdn Bhd and AMD...

The Federal Government has given RM28.5mil to QAV Technologies Sdn Bhd and AMD Export Sdn Bhd in the form of grants to assist them in establishing themselves as world-class companies. International Trade and Industry Minister Dato’ Sri Mustapa Mohamed said the funding was to help the companies purchase equipment and to expand their operations.

Speaking at a briefing after visiting QAV and AMD plants in Bayan Lepas, he said QAV received RM18.5mil, with AMD getting the remainder. QAV Technologies provides testing and certification services to light-emitting diodes (LED) and solid state lighting (SSL) producers while AMD is a global leader in manufacturing micro-processors.

Mustapa said local SSL and LED companies had contributed significantly to the growth of the electrical and electronics sector.“As of December 2014, 10 local LED companies have achieved significant increase in combined sales, amounting to RM88.7mil. Twenty-six products have been certified internationally, with market access to 13 countries,” he said. Earlier at Kulim Hi-Tech Park (KHTP), Kedah Mentri Besar Datuk Seri Mukhriz Mahathir said the first phase of the proposed international airport in Kulim would start off with providing cargo services.“The cargo traffic in and out of Penang has been declining at 10.5% annually. Thus if we plan the first phase as a cargo airport, we can pick up the slack and meet an immediate demand.“This way, we also don’t disturb the Penang International Airport, which is focused on serving passengers,” he said at a joint press conference with Mustapa. Mukhriz said the decline in cargo traffic at Penang International Airport was due to the fact that it had only one runway, which was dedicated to serving passenger aircraft. “The response from the multinational corporations in KHTP to our proposal has been very positive,” he added.The proposed international airport in Kulim is expected to cost RM1.6bil. The plan for the proposed airport is now being studied by the Economic Planning Unit. Meanwhile, Mustapa said a new waste treatment facility built by Globecycle Manufacturing Sdn Bhd close to KHTP would start operations in mid-2015. He added that Globecycle had received a RM7mil grant from the Federal Government for the project.

HOVID Berhad’s journey to glory began a long time ago when a special concoction of Ho Yan Hor Herbal Tea was blended with cooling and healing properties came to life, post-World War II. The sole purpose of this tea was to serve Malaysians, particularly in the days that followed the worldwide flu epidemic in the early 1950s. Ho Yan Hor Herbal Tea soon became one of the most sought after products in the country. It was not until the early 1980s that the company migrated its core business offerings into the competitive world of pharmaceuticals. With sound and in-depth knowledge of research and pharmaceutical science, the company was completely rebranded and repositioned to offer pharmaceutical solutions spanning various disciplines. It was a decision that proved to be more than just right. The company grew by leaps and bounds, and is no stranger to the international pharmaceutical industry. Today, Hovid Berhad is listed on the Main Board of Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange, and is a seasoned player among healthcare providers in over 50 countries worldwide. With the various divisions of Hovid established through many years of hard work, research and quality experience, Hovid continues to deliver all that it promises clients both locally and worldwide – speed, quality service, excellence and continuous innovation.

THE EARLY BEGINNINGS OF HOVID BERHAD

Starting from herbal tea business, Hovid had to be re-built from scratch when changing winds initiated a new direction in the company’s core business offering. In the early 1980s, the company was initiated with a small team of employees, taking into consideration all the key elements required to run a pharmaceutical business, ie. research and development, laboratories, marketing and business development and other divisions. Using limited resources of capital and exclusive recruitment, Hovid steadily grew with a few product offerings in the state. After almost five years of struggling, Hovid finally started to make its mark in the country with a humble 15 – 20 products being distributed nationwide. Today, Hovid has over 350 products marketed worldwide and sold throughout ASEAN countries and Africa, with staff strength of close to 1,000 committed individuals. Combining knowledge in pharmacy and entrepreneurship, Hovid was a dream built on the foundations of perseverance, patience and extensive learning throughout the years the company has been in existence. As Hovid’s direction to dive headfirst into the pharmaceutical industry in the early 1980s took flight, it seemed to be a daunting task. Malaysia was still considered a developing country then. Even sourcing basic laboratory equipment was a huge challenge to overcome in these initial stages of the company’s growth. Through commitment to a shared vision, the company took all challenges as opportunities to grow further, and tirelessly found innovative ways to capture the new market effectively. Besides diversifying the business, Hovid also retained the herbal tea business in place, catering to their loyal long standing customers.

KEEPING ABREAST OF INTERNATIONAL COMPETITION

In Malaysia, almost all of the pharmaceutical industry is dominated by imported products. However, this did not serve as a deterrent to Hovid to strive in placing its name at the top of the list. Massive investments were made to ensure Hovid stayed well ahead of competition. To date, there are close to 20-30 local factories that produce their own pharmaceutical products. In the early stages, Hovid participated in many trade missions and trade fairs arranged by the Malaysian Investment Development Authority (MIDA). The early 2000s saw a boost in business, as Hovid began to participate in MATRADE’s various trade missions and key

“Quote of the day”“Man alone measures time. Man alone chimes the hour. And, because of this,

man alone suffers a paralysing fear that no other creature endures. A fear of time running out.”
