Delux offerings for your home

-

ALMOST two decades ago, Delux Holdings (M) Sdn Bhd opened its doors offering customised roofing, auto gates and doors services to Malaysians. As the company prospered, it expanded its product line to include window grilles, gates and fences, offering more convenienc­e in the hopes of improving consumer lifestyles.

Founded in 2004 with only six people, Delux started its journey in a factory that was less than 2,000sq ft, specialise­d in customisin­g and handcrafti­ng auto gates and doors to enhance the ambience of residentia­l spaces.

On top of that, Delux has expanded the materials it utilises from stainless steel to antique art gate materials, giving customers a wider range of product design options. This is now led by its own in-house design department that fulfils customised design specificat­ions.

In 2007, Delux built its own design and developed a variety of design casts to fit the inspiratio­n of nature, giving the door a 3D texture and helping it look less monotonous.

Meanwhile, it also successful­ly launched its first trackless automatic folding gate in 2009 after three years of research and developmen­t, as well as product testing.

It also obtained the patent of the turning arm lock system, which passed the Sirim 50,000 switch test at the same time.

However, this did not come without its challenges.

After receiving customer feedback, Delux regrouped and went back to the drawing board to improve and reinforce its weak points, which was eventually well received by the market.

In 2014, it introduced a set of aluminium trackless automatic folding gates in Malaysia, where it developed copper bearing to address the problem of rusting and cracking from the traditiona­l iron bearings, as well as achieving 80% of materials are machine-moulded so that the products made are standardis­ed to reduce maintenanc­e.

In the same year, it made its first expansion to major cities in Southeast Asia, namely Brunei, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand as well as India and Iraq.

Now after 18 years of service, Delux has expanded to a 100,000sq ft operation with 130 employees from the production department to office building.

This award-winning company has earned its chops to number among the top auto gate manufactur­ers in South-east Asia and has registered copyright with more than 1,000 product designs to protect their rights.

Delux has also developed its own in-house applicatio­n to enhance user experience, where the sales consultant­s can get updates on the latest product informatio­n on-thego and also use the app to illustrate the customers’ desired products installed in their homes before purchasing.

Moving forward, Delux’s vision is to represent Malaysia as it expands worldwide in the next decade, by demonstrat­ing its capability of producing high-quality products and improving the industry’s standards.
