Our story began in 1917, when a young visionary called Chia Yee Soh opened a humble automotive repair shop called “United Motor Works”, lighting a spark that would ignite into the leading, multi- million dollar industrial conglomerate that is the UMW Group.
We stand tall as one of Malaysia’s foremost public-listed companies, while continuously building on the strengths of our core businesses to tap opportunities in the international arena. The UMW Group has expanded beyond Malaysian shores. We now have international presence in Singapore, Myanmar, China, Vietnam, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea and India.
