Originally incorporated as an investment holding entity in Malaysia
Current Leadership:
Chairman: Goh Nan Kioh
The leadership continues to guide the Group with a focus on transformation, sustainability, and long-term industrial relevance.
Some companies are built on focus — MEGA FIRST was built on reinvention.
Founded in 1966, the company began as a traditional industrial and investment entity, operating within the conventional sectors of its time.
Its early identity was not defined by energy or sustainability, but by participation in cement, chemical, and resource-based industries.
As markets evolved, so did the company — moving through phases of restructuring and repositioning to remain relevant.
The defining shift came when it chose not to remain anchored to legacy industries, but to transition into higher-value, future-facing sectors, particularly renewable energy.
Through strategic investments in hydropower projects such as Don Sahong in Laos, alongside solar initiatives, the Group emerged as a regional energy player.
At the same time, it strengthened its industrial base through packaging and lime-based materials, building a diversified yet focused portfolio.
From industrial roots to sustainable energy platforms, its journey reflects a powerful truth — that longevity belongs to those who evolve before they are forced to.
Core Activities include:
Renewable energy generation including hydropower and solar
Manufacturing of flexible packaging materials and films

Investment holding and diversification into strategic sectors
The Group’s operational model focuses on disciplined diversification across renewable energy, industrial materials, packaging, and resource-based activities. By combining long-term energy assets with manufacturing and industrial supply businesses, MEGA FIRST CORPORATION BERHAD positions itself as both an energy producer and a diversified industrial investment group.
