Nam Bee Rubber & Tyre Group from Malaysia was started by the late Tan Kok Cheng and his wife who arrived into then Malaya from Fujian, China in the 1930s. They started from humble beginnings as a rickshaw puller and doing laundry jobs for hotels. Through sheer hard work and perseverance they founded Nam Bee in 1938. Literally translated “Nam Bee” means “South Beautiful”. And this was their dream…….to build a future together and to assist their struggling families back in China. The original factory was situated in Brickfields. With an initial workforce of 5 workers, the production process then was fairly manual, utilizing a 2-roll open mill to mix natural rubber, carbon black & chemicals. The rubber compounds were then hand cut and shaped into the desired size and dimensions, and supplied to local market for industrial use.

The continuous growth of the Company saw it relocate to Sungei Besi in 1945, then to Petaling Jaya in 1967 and finally to its present location in Port Klang in 2010.
