CHOP YEW LEE GROUP
Founded with a passion for excellence, Chop Yew Lee Group stands as one of Malaysia’s most trusted names in the oil and gas industry.
1976
Our Story
The business grew progressively from two founders into a dedicated team. What began in a rented room within a shared office later expanded to a double-storey shop lot, and today operates from our current headquarters — a semi-detached factory — reflecting our continuous growth and commitment to excellence.
THE MEANING OF “CHOP YEW LEE”
友利号 CHOP YEW LEE
- “Chop (号)” was the traditional 1970s term for “Company.”
- “Yew Lee (友利)” was chosen by Mr. Khong to signify “Value to Friends,” reflecting our core philosophy of treating every customer as a valued friend.
Today, that RM 6,000 startup has grown into a robust group of companies with an annual turnover of RM 200 million. Our legacy continues through a carefully planned succession; in 2005, second-generation leader Ms. Celine Khong joined the company following her graduation from the University of Melbourne, ensuring our family-oriented values remain at the heart of our modern operations.
