Chairman of Publication

Axos (M) Sdn Bhd is indeed honored to publish this inaugural Malaysia Brands Directory 2007-2008 with the aim of realizing our vision of making Malaysia a developed country by 2020.

In the international trade, Malaysia companies should be on the lookout for market expansion opportunities not only in the traditional markets, but also in new and emerging international markets. They must continue to enhance their competitive advantage and be in a position to capitalize on new opportunities. Furthermore, Malaysia companies must be aware and respond to the new demands of the target market. The need to be creative and innovative is significant cornerstones in the promotion of exports.

We hope with the publication of the Malaysia Brands Directory 2007-2008, it will act as a comprehensive tool that act as useful source of reference to facilitate international trade for the business community through trade missions and business matching.

In terms of circulation, the Malaysia Brands Directory will be extensively distributed to international trade organizations and chambers, commercial counselors at the foreign embassies, MATRADE and MIDA offices worldwide.

On behalf of the board, I wish to thank the corporate sponsors and advertisers for their kind and outstanding support in helping to make the Malaysia Brands Directory 2007-2008 initiative a success. For those who have not come on board, we urge you to establish your company presence in our Malaysia Brands Directory 2008-2009.

I also owe my special thanks to the Editorial and Marketing Teams for their tireless and relentless commitment to realize the publication.
