Leveraging technology in greening the future

BUILT on the back of Singapore's little-known horticulture industry, landscaping companies have been carefully cultivating Singapore's reputation as a "city in a garden" over the years. With mega projects such as Changi Airport's indoor gardens and the Istana to its name, Mao Sheng Quanji Construction has made its mark in the industry over three decades of operations, helping shape Singapore's urban environment .

Mao Sheng's accumulated experience is reflected in the many awards the company has garnered. In 2015, Mao Sheng was recognised with an excellence award for its work on The Sandcrawler building at Fusionopolis, the regional headquarters of American film and television production company, Lucasfilm. More recently, the firm received the Gold award, Best of Show, Horticulture Excellence, and People's Choice Awards in the 2016 Singapore Garden Festival. In 2017, it also won the Enterprise 50 Awards.

Mao Sheng began as a one-man operation founded by Choo Kim Chuan in 1983. Today, it has over 500 employees and offers a broad range of landscaping services such as landscape maintenance, landscape construction, and greenery design. While Mr Choo remains involved in operations, his son, Choo Jun Wei, has stepped up as project director and spearheads many innovative projects.
