The manufacturing sector has been streamlined to reflect Tradewinds Corporation Berhad’s direction to tap into viable emerging new businesses whilst strengthening its involvement in the sectors that will generate a sustainable income stream for the Group. The Group is involved in a wide spectrum of manufacturing activities, ranging from sugar refining (Central Sugars Refinery Sdn Bhd), to automotive glass (MCIS Safety Glass Sdn Bhd).

Sugar Refining
Central Sugars Refinery Sdn Bhd (CSR) is the second largest sugar refinery in Malaysia , contributing 1,400 metric tons of sugar per day for Singapore, Indonesia, Hong Kong, New Zealand, Australia and Phillipines market. Located in Batu Tiga, Shah Alam, it is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Tradewinds (M) Berhad that was incorporated on 23 March 1983.


In 1992, CSR was the first sugar refining company in Malaysia to obtain the ISO 9002 certification. Subsequently, in 1994, it was the first sugar refining company to obtain the "HALAL" certification from the National Islamic Body.

Safety Glass
A highly automated plant located in Negeri Sembilan, MCIS Safety Glass Sdn Bhd produces and supplies automotive glass to major auto manufacturers and assemblers in the country.

It was originally set up in April 1973 as a joint venture with Malaysian and Indian interests. The company rapidly expanded and its business operations were further strengthened with the involvement of Asahi Glass Co. Ltd. of Japan and Tradewinds Corporation Berhad (then Pernas International Holdings Berhad).

Today, MCIS Safety Glass is among the major local players in the manufacture and trade of safety glass, and is one of the two companies entrusted to supply national automotive manufacturer, PROTON, with high quality automotive glass. The company also supplies to other leading domestic automotive manufacturers and assemblers such as Honda, Perodua, Hyundai and DRB-Hicom.
