Its product portfolio comprises industrial solvents including hydrocarbon solvents, oxygenated solvents, and reclaimed solvent blends; water and wastewater treatment formulations including coagulants, flocculants, biocides, and corrosion inhibitors; specialty polymer additives, polyurethane prepolymers, and synthetic emulsion polymers; industrial cleaning agents, degreasers, and surface finishing chemicals; and customized chemical blending solutions tailored for the electronics, automotive, oleochemicals, palm oil processing, construction, and oil and gas sectors. In addition to manufacturing, the company provides toll manufacturing, chemical storage, dangerous goods warehousing, solvent recovery, and technical consultancy services.
Founded in 1998 and headquartered in Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia, Eckem Holdings Berhad distributes its products to commercial enterprises, industrial manufacturers, and municipal facilities across Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Indonesia, and Vietnam. The company operates production plants, specialized blending hubs, and research and development laboratories in Selangor, Johor, and Penang, managing sales and distribution through wholly owned operational subsidiaries.
In recent developments, Eckem Holdings Berhad expanded its manufacturing footprint through the commissioning of an automated specialty chemical blending and solvent recycling facility in Johor, significantly increasing production capacity for high-purity chemical grades. The company also entered into a strategic distribution partnership with an international green chemical producer to supply bio-based surfactants and low-toxicity industrial solvents across Southeast Asia, alongside the commercial launch of its proprietary line of bio-derived resin additives and low-volatile organic compound coating formulations. Additionally, the company completed the acquisition of a regional bulk liquid logistics and storage provider to enhance its supply chain integration and implemented an internal restructuring program aimed at centralizing technical operations and accelerating penetration into regional export markets.
