- ETA Group Berhad is a Malaysia-based investment holding company engaged in property development, construction services, building material trading, and food manufacturing. Founded in 1965 and headquartered in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, the company operates primarily across two core business divisions: Property and Construction, and Food and Beverage. Through its Property and Construction division, the company provides turnkey design-and-build construction services; project management; industrial and commercial property development; and the wholesale trading and distribution of building and construction materials. Through its Food and Beverage division, the company specializes in the contract manufacturing, processing, packaging, and export of shelf-stable canned food products, including canned seafood such as crabmeat, tuna, sardines, and clams; canned meat and poultry products; and processed fruits and vegetables. The company conducts its industrial property development and construction activities across Malaysia, while maintaining overseas food manufacturing facilities in Indonesia to supply international export markets across North America, Europe, and the Asia-Pacific region. In recent developments, the company executed a major corporate transformation, officially changing its name from Rex Industry Berhad to ETA Group Berhad in November 2025 to reflect its strategic diversification into property development and construction. In December 2025, the company completed the disposal of its legacy Malaysian food manufacturing and trading subsidiaries, Rex Canning Co. Sdn. Bhd. and Rex Trading Sdn. Bhd., to streamline operations and eliminate non-performing business units while retaining its export-focused Indonesian subsidiary, P.T. Rex Canning. To anchor its new operational focus, the company incorporated dedicated operating entities comprising ETA Development Sdn. Bhd., ETA Design & Build Sdn. Bhd., and ETA Trading Sdn. Bhd., subsequently securing and executing several major industrial design-and-build construction contracts in Malaysia.
