  • The Evolution of the MGB Group

  • August 1984

    Metronic Engineering Sdn Bhd (“MESB”) was incorporated to provide building automation service specializing in the field of IBMS and ISMS. MESB subsequently expanded its business activities to include e-PM of mechanical and electrical service and supply of engineering systems. MESB carries products by principals such as TAC Controls Pte Ltd and Honeywell Integrated Security, USA which are amongst the world’s leading companies in IBMS and ISMS.

    During the early years, MESB played a pivotal role in nation building by providing state-of-the-art e-project management and system integration services for hospitals, office building, shopping complexes, airports, oil refineries and manufacturing plants. Over the years, the Group has leveraged its expertise to develop unique and innovative IBMS and ISMS products, solution and services, mainly in the areas of “intelligent buildings”.

    As technology progresses, intelligent buildings have evolved from mere stand-alone entities into interconnected hubs within the citywide infrastructure, known as “intelligent cities”. With the convergence of technology, stand-alone buildings are slowly forming into smaller, ecosystems comprising a tightly integrated network of buildings that better enable the management and optimization of systems and resources. The driving force of the evolution of intelligent cities is the ability to reduce cost, optimise manpower utilisation and enhance service levels through aggregation, service integration and process automation.

    Over the years, the Group has strengthened its position in the value chain towards becoming an ICMS provider. By converging newer technologies with the JBCMTM (Java Based Control & Monitoring Software) platform, the Group is able to provide a value-added proposition for its customers by enhancing and expanding its product applications. In line with the Group’s plan to migrate as a provider of ICMS, these technologies will significantly enhance application security, manageability, reliability and availability of any application while lowering the cost of operations for its customers.

  • 2008

    In a move to diversify and complement its existing core business, in 2008, the Group via Metronic iCares Sdn Bhd (“Micares”) ventured into Third Party Administration and Managed Care Organisation businesses for the healthcare sector via the connectivity applications and infrastructure for the exchange of transactional information through internet.

  • 2013

    the Group has disposed off the ICT Support Services Division. The disposal of Micares provides an opportunity for the Group to realize its investment at an attractive return, generate funds for working capital and investment in other potential businesses and repayment of borrowings. The rationale for disposal is also due to the financial and business prospect is uncertain with the recent consolidation within the insurance industry and the various mergers and acquisition of some of Micare’s major clients which may affect Micare’s business

    For geographical expansion, MGB Group has embarked on a series of acquisition strategies over the last few years to complement the local market. As at today, the Group has reached China, India, Vietnam and Middle East countries.
