By Achong Tanjong

Haji Hamid Malai Mashhor, Chairman of HMM Group, and Mr. Jonny Kappen, Managing Director of Reym BV in Holland signing the contracts.

Mashhor Waste Management Sdn Bhd is now a "100 per cent" local company.

This follows the purchase of all of the shares in the company by the local partner.

Mashhor Waste Management Sdn Bhd, formerly known as Mashhor Reym Brunei and Mashhor Reym Charters, was established as a joint venture company in 1980 by a "bumiputera" company, Hj Malai Mashhor General Contractors, and Dutch-based Reym BV of Holland, which specialises in this field.

Now, after 20 years of good partnership Hj Malai Mashhor has bought all of the shares in the company, and thus the company is now a 100 per cent local company.

In addition, the company has entered into a technical agreement with Reym to ensure the future know-how in the specialised field of waste solutions and business. Mashhor Waste Management Sdn Bhd specialises in industrial cleaning, waste transport and waste logistics.

Based in Seria, the company expanded with satellite offices in Bandar Seri Begawan in 1986 and in Miri, Sarawak in 1994. The company's move into East Malaysia was easily achieved with the recognition of its excellent safety track record in Brunei by the national oil companies.

The core activity of Mashhor Waste Management Sdn Bhd Brunei is the provision of vacuum road tanker services to BSP Co under long-term contracts. Other activities in Brunei include the provision of municipal and industrial cleaning services through call-off contracts with BSP, some Brunei government departments and the private sector.

MWM Miri operations began with assistance from Brunei but today the branch runs independently with its own fleet of vacuum tankers.

Mashhor Waste Management Miri serves clients such as Petronas, Sarawak Shell Bhd, SMDS, MLNG, ABF, Bintulu Development Authority and Miri Municipal Council.
