Corporate Profile

Parkwood Holdings Berhad (“Parkwood” or the “Group”), which was then known as Amalgamated Industrial Steel Sdn Bhd (“AIS”), was founded on 20 November 1969 as a private limited company. It was basically the brainchild of a skilled group of pioneering local hardware importers where AIS became the first premier manufacturer of steel pipes in Malaysia. Just under two years later, on 18 May 1971, the company commenced operations with a paid-up capital of over RM4 million and an authorised capital of RM10 million.

Having enjoyed steady growth and continuous success, AIS became a publicly listed company in just a matter of 3 years on 10th December 1974, following which the name was changed to Amalgamated Industrial Steel Berhad (“AISB”).

This was but a mere prelude to another great milestone when we obtained our official listing status on the Main Board of Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange on 28 June 1983, now known as Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad.

In 2015, AISB divested the manufacturing operations to focus on property related activities and trading of steel-related products. This move was primarily to improve the income stream and ensure long-term business sustainability to reduce its exposure to market volatility. The strategic move to focus on the property sector principally taps into the years of experience and successes collectively brought about by its elite senior management team and directors. In their own rights, each has previously successfully spearheaded property related projects locally as well as abroad under the LGB Group. The move paid off as the end result is Parkwood’s current status as an innovative and sustainable developer, producing top-of-the-line residential, commercial, mixed-use and industrial properties.

In 2020, AISB divested its steel trading operations to solely focus on the property sector. With the divestment, the Group’s listing on Bursa was re-classified from the “Industrial Products and Services” to “Property” sector on 12 October 2020. AISB officially changed its name to Parkwood Holdings Berhad after having secured shareholders’ approval for the change on 26 January 2021. This is to provide a new corporate identity and better reflect the Group’s principal activities in the property sector.
