The group maintains direct operational facilities and warehouses in Malaysia, Singapore, Indonesia, and Thailand, and extends its market coverage through authorized distributors and sales agents in Taiwan, the Philippines, and Vietnam. In recent major developments, Minox successfully listed on the ACE Market of Bursa Malaysia in October 2023, raising capital to fund regional growth initiatives.
