"It is timely for us to extend our geographical footprint by including China as our expansion strategy. Our success thus far in penetrating the huge Chinese market with our exports says as much the unabated demand for our EFB fibre in the country as it does our product quality," said co-founder and managing director of Heng Huat, H'ng Choon Seng.

He said it also has a coconut biomass processing plant in Bachok, Kelantan, in addition to a production plant in Seberang Prai Selatan, Penang for downstream manufacturing of mattresses and related products.

"With sizable supply of EFB in Malaysia, coupled with our processing capacity, we are positive that our direct presence in China will help in scaling up the group's exports," he added.

Heng Huat, which is slated to be listed on the ACE Market of Bursa Malaysia on July 25, plans to allocate some RM4 million of its RM20.93 proceed for capital expenditure, RM4.55 million for working capital while the remaining RM9.38 million and RM3 million would be allocated for the repayment of bank borrowings and defraying listing expenses respectively.
