When Madam Karen
Hee, our Managing Director walked into our final tender interview
with the shortlisted main contractor for the new factory, she
had one thing set in her mind: "The main contractor must
complete the physical structure of the factory in 100 days starting
from December 16, 2008." Indeed, the last site meeting progress
report shows that they are 3% ahead of schedule. Syabas, Malaysia
Boleh! (Malaysia Can !).
The
whole project, when completed will consist of Block A (a three
storey office block complete with an 800-seater column-free convention
hall on the top floor, followed by Edmark Industries office on
the first floor, and our Edmark Malaysia MLM will start operations
at the ground floor.
A new three storey purpose-built Block B, will
house our state of the art GMP and ISO 22000 certified Food Cleanroom
Production facility. At the time of writing, the stage of construction
has progressed to the second floor of the new Block B food Cleanroom.
Block C is dedicated as a huge warehouse for our finished Food
products. We are now ready for Africa and the United States!
The Plastics and General Products Division will
be housed at the huge Block D, which may eventually see us expanding
downstream into the printing and laminating of aluminium foil
to produce for our in house packaging of food products into sachets.
There is enough room for expansion into other upstream and downstream
activities to synergize with our present and future products and
markets.
God has blessed us in Malaysia with abundant rain fall throughout
the year. Being grateful for the abundance, we have designed our
factory roof to harvest and collect all the rain water and channel
it into two large underground water tanks that comes complete
with filtration sytem and pumps. It will distribute the filtered
rain water to flush all the toilets, water all the plants and
greens and to effectively keep all the drains in clean condition.
The
top of the icing is our well guided design by our energy consultant
to tap the blessings from the Sun. All our warehouse, plastics
and general products division will enjoy the natural light from
the Sun from approximately 8AM to 6PM daily without switching
on the lights. We are so blessed and very grateful for the abundance
that the universe has provided.
Truly, Edmark Industries Malaysia is living
up to its purpose as a world class factory that will serve humanity.
We shall keep all of you posted on future updates on the new factory.
