Message from the Managing Director

This year we have introduced the Carbon Neutral Print Programme (CNPP), another addition to our eco printing services. It is a carbon offsetting programme, client is able to offset their carbon emission from the print process with tree planting activities organised by the programme partners i.e. Malaysia Nature Society (MNS) and Global Environment Centre (GEC). We hope this will encourage more green practices with our client.

For the first time, we organise the Eco Sense Talk that comprise of six speakers in a half day event. It is an event to showcase our services and products to our potential and existing clients. We would like to thank our speakers for their contributions and to our suppliers for their support to jointly organise the exhibtition area.
