LE NAM MEGASHEET (M) SDN BHD - The preferred choice in metal roofing
The greatest fear in doing business is not getting any return after putting in much effort to execute something for somebody. MR. Khor Lee Nam, founder of Le Nam Megasheet, Butterworth, has personally gone through the same unforgettable experience. Just like the common saying “If it doesn’t break you, it only makes you stronger”, the hardship didn’t despair MR Khor, instead it brought him to another height of his career.
MR. Khor who was involved in the business of sewing machinery and building materials, saw the great prospect of a brand new kind of industrial megasheet in1988, and successfully obtained the sole distributorship of the product in the same year. After an intense round of sales and marketing, Khor’s business and sales soared, and this has attracted the jealousy of others in the industry.
At the same time, Khor was in a dilemma when the supplier of Le Nam Megasheet in Australia decided to retract the sole distributorship from him. Refusing to give up, together with his strong determination and understanding in machinery and marketing, Khor successfully turned himself from a distributor to a manufacturer.
His decision was not well-received by others then. But there was nothing that could stop the highly determined Khor to pursue his dream. He invested heavily on the manufacturing machines of megasheet. In 1995, his first production line was in place, Mr. Khor proceeded to name his product LEDEX. Subsequently, under the leadership of Mr. Khor, a name which symbolizes ‘the first Malaysia made megasheet’ managed to make its name in the Malaysian market.
He then increased the number of his production line until seven. His products were suitable as building material for houses, industrial factories, shop lots and public construction projects. When his yearly production volume hit between 200 and 300 tons, Le Nam Megasheet became the first company in northern Malaysia to achieve the ISO 9002 Quality Assurance Status in industrial manufacturing.
During his interview with Shang Hai Magazine, the much admired 47-year-old man sat in his office in Bukit Minyak, Bukit Mertajam industrial area, coolly recounting his pioneering experience in the megasheet business. His description was brief, yet it didn’t conceal his deep understanding and maturity in the business world. Calm and highly collected were the first impression given to the reporters. He stressed that the most important thing for an employer is being able to make the right decisions at the right time.” Touched on the turning point of his business, he believed establishing the LEDEX brand name was the rightest decision he had ever made. Should he opt for becoming an OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) instead of establishing his own brand, Le Nam Megasheet wouldn’t have achieved what it achieved today.
A blessing in disguise
Mr Khor was born and raised in Bukit Mertajam, he graduated from SMK Sing Min in 1971. As a youngster, he had hopped from one job to another, including various different types of jobs such as technician, electroplating person, and so forth.
In 1995, despite the absence of proper experience in the manufacturing field, he together with his buddies founded Le Nam (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd, bought a land in Bukit Minyak Industrial Area and a factory in Bukit Tengah Industrial Area from Penang Development Organization. From there, he made the head start in the manufacturing business, and alongside of his self-built brand name LEDEX, both of his main products WAN WA and CHEN WA have hit the market with impressive response.
Overlooking Overseas Market
Today, Le Nam Megasheet has a total of 22 agents around the country. His products take up around 60% of the entire market share in the northern region. He planned to achieve self-sufficient in his manufacturing, further cutting down the manufacturing cost to face the upcoming challenges.
Although the local manufacturing industry would soon face immense challenge from foreign competitors, Khor thought that this was also the timeliest moment for local manufacturers to expand their businesses overseas. According to the far-sighted businessman, the most important elements in staying competitive in the global market are price and quality. With the company’s good reputation and its recent attainment of ISO 9002 Certificate, Khor is patiently expecting this very important moment to come!
