Press Metal began humbly in 1986 as a local aluminum extrusion enterprise founded by the Koon family brothers with modest capital. Despite facing severe economic crises and cyclical commodity crashes over the decades, the company aggressively expanded downstream and upstream, pioneering large-scale smelting operations powered by renewable hydroelectric energy in Sarawak. Today, it stands as a global aluminum giant supplying lightweight metals to multinational automotive, construction, and green technology industries worldwide.
