The company
was set up by Mr. Jaspal Singh a young entrepreneur
in 1974 in collaboration with Khon Ken Store to
undertake textile trading business. It started out
in Ampang Street and grew at a steady pace. Its
maiden turnover was RM1.2 million and as of 2001,
the turnover stands at RM43 million.
Mr.
Jaspal Singh, who was then a teacher saw the opportunity
in the textile trade and thus decided to venture
into this business. The company and its subsidiaries,
which initially started of with 4 employees, now
have 80 employees globally.
The
company had a very simple philosophy, which is to
supply good quality textile material and garments
at very reasonable prices. This philosophy has been
retained to date as it’s proven by the loyalty
it has gained from its customers. Some of the customers
have been buying from the company since it first
started trading.
As
the company grew, it was clear that without a worldwide
network for either sourcing or selling, the growth
was limited. The company then entered into an affiliation
arrangement with Khon Ken Store and now has offices
in Thailand, Myanmar, Singapore, Japan and Dubai.
In 1997 the TSB Group established an office in Mumbai,
India & in 2002 a representative office was
also set up in Shanghai, China. With this network,
the company is able to source for textile and garments
at very competitive prices and is currently one
of the main suppliers for most of the garment brands
and manufacturers. The company is now one of the
largest and prominent trading firm in Japanese and
Indian textile and garments in the country.
