    A TRAILBLAZER in introducing and adopting numerous innovations, Chye Thiam Maintenance (CTM) has slowly but surely carved a place in Singapore's competitive business landscape. The core of its business philosophy is to perpetuate excellence in all areas of work while adhering closely to the lifelong motto of its founder, Tan Chye Thiam, that "honesty wins the world".

    Since securing its first major contract with the Civil Aviation Authority of Singapore in 1983, CTM has been an early adopter of new cleaning technology. It began using mechanical road sweepers even when such technology was still novel, paving the way for CTM's rapid expansion over the next 37 years.

    By investing in the latest technologies in cleaning both commercial and outdoor spaces, it is freeing up workers to focus on other tasks. CTM's multi-functional, fully autonomous robots, LeoBots, can take over large-scale routine cleaning tasks that typically require hours of manual labour.
