- Paos Holdings Berhad is a Malaysia-based investment holding company that operates primarily in contract manufacturing, commodity and fuel trading, and hospitality and property investment. The group conducts its operations through three main business divisions: Manufacturing, Trading, and Hospitality and Property Investment.
Under its Manufacturing division, operated through wholly-owned subsidiaries including Paos Industries Sdn. Bhd. and Premier Oil Industries Sdn. Bhd., the company is a prominent contract and toll manufacturer of personal care and oleochemical products. Its manufacturing product lines comprise beauty, medicated, antiseptic, antibacterial, herbal, translucent, and specialty bar soaps; custom soap noodles; refined specialty fats derived from palm oil; and palm-based animal feed additives and nutritional supplements.
Under its Trading division, the company is engaged in the wholesale procurement, distribution, and export of palm oil derivatives, specialty fats, soap noodles, and raw materials for soap formulation, as well as the supply and trading of marine gas oil and related petroleum products for industrial and maritime customers.
Under its Hospitality and Property Investment division, the company owns, operates, and manages The 5 Elements Hotel, a boutique hotel property situated in the Chinatown district of Kuala Lumpur, and manages commercial real estate assets, including retail podium space and office lots within Kompleks Selangor in Kuala Lumpur, through Alpine Legacy (M) Sdn. Bhd.
The group caters to multinational brand owners, consumer goods corporations, livestock feed manufacturers, commercial marine vessel operators, retail tenants, and hospitality guests across Malaysia, Southeast Asia, and broader overseas export destinations.
Tracing its operational roots to the founding of Paos Industries in 1987 and formally incorporated as an investment holding company in November 1997, Paos Holdings Berhad is headquartered in Shah Alam, Selangor, Malaysia, where it also maintains its primary manufacturing facilities.
In recent developments, Paos Holdings Berhad has implemented strategic operational adjustments across its manufacturing segment to address raw material price volatility, particularly for palm stearin feedstocks, and to adapt to market shifts toward resized bar soap specifications. The company is actively diversifying its product formulations, enhancing line efficiencies, and broadening its contract manufacturing customer base. In April 2026, subsidiary Paos Industries Sdn. Bhd. lodged a proof of debt amounting to RM16.1 million with the liquidator of Nikmat Mujur Sdn. Bhd., prompting the group to account for a full impairment provision in its financial year 2026 accounts. Concurrently, the company continues to execute yield-enhancement initiatives across its hospitality and commercial leasing assets to reinforce recurring revenue streams.
