- Compugates Holdings Berhad is a Malaysia-based investment holding company engaged in the trading and distribution of consumer technology and telecommunications products, property development, and agricultural cultivation and processing of gaharu (agarwood). Founded in 1997 and headquartered in Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia, the company operates across three principal business divisions: Trading and Distribution, Agriculture, and Property Development. Through its Trading and Distribution division, the company markets and distributes a broad range of consumer electronics and IT hardware, including digital cameras, lenses, and photographic accessories; flash memory cards, USB drives, and external data storage devices; cellular mobile devices, smart accessories, and telecommunication peripherals; computer hardware, multimedia electronics, and office automation equipment; and consumer lifestyle gadgets. Through its Agriculture division, operated via Compugates Gaharu Sdn. Bhd., the company manages an extensive agarwood plantation in Gopeng, Perak, engaging in the planting, inoculation, harvesting, and processing of Aquilaria trees, as well as the commercialization of downstream agarwood consumer products, including gaharu herbal tea, essential oils, incense, and wellness items. Through its Property Development division, the company engages in real estate investment, site planning, and property development projects, centered around its land assets in Dengkil, Sepang, Selangor. In recent operational and strategic changes, Compugates Holdings Berhad has undertaken a strategic shift toward property development and high-value agro-forestry commercialization to diversify revenue streams beyond traditional IT distribution. The company has structured joint development agreements and strategic alliances to monetize its Sepang land parcels for phased mixed-use and residential township developments. Concurrently, the group has expanded its agro-technology capabilities by implementing proprietary inoculation solutions to scale agarwood resin production and broadened the commercial distribution networks for its downstream gaharu wellness product lines.
