Octagon is now the market leader in Malaysia for OEM coatings of consumer electrical and electronics products and has developed a reputation for providing excellence while going extra-miles in adopting environmentally friendly processes.

While we are excelling in Coatings, we see ailing environmental issues arising from overwhelming wastes in the landfill left to be treated, greenhouse gas emissions, and competition for crops to be consumed as food and as feedstock for fuel. We decided to diversify into green business and offer a solution which makes good environmental and business sense. Dedicated to being environmentally-sensitive and product excellence, we are growing our second core business, the CleanTech business in waste management and renewable energy, which comes from three separate areas – waste tyre pyrolysis, waste to energy and biofuels.
