Value-added edge in M&E

Published Tue, Nov 11, 2014 · 09:50 PM

    Wah Loon Engineering, which clinched the top spot in the Enterprise 50 awards list in 2011 after having won the award in the previous two years, has come a long way since its founding.

    Established as a sole proprietorship in 1988, it started with 10 staff members. Group staff strength has grown to about 300 employees today. Its turnover has also leapt from about S$2 million in 1990 to approximately S$152 million in 2010.

    Wah Loon started out as an electrical engineering company specialising in industrial buildings but it has, over the years, broadened the width and depth of its expertise to provide mechanical and engineering (M&E) services across various industries and business segments.
