Singapore Operation
In 1977, we incorporated a private limited company to take over the business of the sole-proprietorship. The Company changed its name to Tat Seng Packaging Group Ltd for listing purpose in 2001.
Through the 1980s, we embarked on a series of improvement programs to improve the productivity of our operations and upgrade the quality of our products. We took advantage of EDB's incentive schemes to upgrade and automate our machinery. We also participated in PSB's various programs to improve our production and management systems.
Our efforts paid off when we were awarded SISIR's Ceritificate of Good Manufacturing Practice Award for the ISO9003 Certification for quality assurance through final inspection and testing of products in 1989, and subsequently obtained the ISO9002 Certification for the achievement of quality assurance through in process control in 1990.
We have an established Integrated Management System that encompasses two core elements of our operations: ISO 9001 Standard for Quality Management and ISO 14001 Standard for Environment Management. We believe that this system will enhance our effectiveness in providing quality products and services to our customers.
In July 2008, we have taken over the corrugated packaging business from a rival through a wholly owned subsidiary, United Packaging Industries Pte. Ltd. ("UPI"). This strategic move has enabled us to expand our business; strengthen our market position and enlarge our market share and customers base in Singapore.
UPI is in the business of design, manufacture and sale of corrugated paper board and carton to meet various customers' requirements and specifications for the past 50 years.
Since 1993, UPI has been awarded ISO 9001 Certification for its Quality Management System, demonstrating our uncompromising commitment to manufacturing and providing the highest quality products and services to its customers.
