THE KTC STORY

Our Heritage

The story of Kim Teck Cheong (KTC) began in 1910 with our founder Datuk Lau Yeong Ching, then only eight years old, who embarked on a life-changing voyage from China to Borneo with his father.

As an ambitious young man who wanted to support his new family, he decided to start a small retail business. He wanted the business to be guided by strong values and noble principles. 

Hence, he named it Kim Teck Cheong (金德昌) to epitomize his dreams and visions of leading a success business with a solid foundation of strong values and noble principles.
