MSM Prai Berhad operates the Prai sugar refinery in Penang. Located on the northwest coast of Peninsular Malaysia, the facility is the country’s largest sugar refinery with an annual production capacity of 960,000 tonnes of refined sugar, accounting for up to 84% of MSM’s total production capacity.
The formation of Malayan Sugar Manufacturing Company Berhad (MSM Co.) dates back to 1959. Its sole mission was to set up a sugar refinery in Malaysia. Then, Malaysia was still dependent on imported sugar refined in Britain and Hong Kong.
Three companies - one Malaysian and two Japanese - participated as joint venture partners to form Malayan Sugar Manufacturing Company Berhad. The Malaysian partner was Kuok Brothers Sdn. Bhd. while the two Japanese partners comprised of Mitsui & Co. and Nissin Sugar Manufacturing Company. A triangle logo, was chosen to represent the tripartite partnership of the three companies that formed MSM.
Since its inception, MSM, under the tutelage of the Japanese, has considered the quality of its products to be of utmost importance. At the same time, on-going productivity improvement has remained a basic objective of the Company.
