AHE Group was established since 1976 in Malaysia first dealing in the marketing, distributing and installation of Japanese spray coating materials in Southeast Asia. Soon after, AHE ventured into the manufacturing of fibrous plaster ceilings as a pioneer in East Malaysia. Most of the prestigious projects in Sarawak were undertaken by AHE Ceilings Sdn Bhd until to date.
As its manufacturing operations stabilized, AHE incorporated Umehiko (M) Sdn Bhd in 1985 to sell specially selected natural stones, especially on quartzites, slates and sandstones, production of which the Group invested in - the first bold overseas venture under AHE Natural Resource Development (Beijing) Co. Ltd. - a wholly foreign-owned enterprise in Northern China. Having worked with its Japanese counterparts for many years, AHE capitalized on Japanese quality control in the production of natural stones, from quarrying, processing, packing and management systems. In mid-1990s, AHE integrated to producing delicate granite, selected marbles and landscape stones in Southern China. |
