Corporate Profile

Ancom Berhad (“Ancom”) was incorporated in Malaysia on 3 March 1969 as Ansul (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd, pioneering the manufacturing of agricultural chemicals and herbicides in Malaysia. After several changes in management and shareholders, the company assumed its present name on 9 September 1989 and was listed on the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange (now Bursa Malaysia) on 29 March 1990.

Through its wholly-owned subsidiary Nylex Holdings Sdn. Bhd. (“NHSB”), Ancom completed the acquisition of the entire business and undertaking of Nylex (Malaysia) Berhad (“Nylex”) on 26 January 2022. Consequently, Nylex’s subsidiaries became direct subsidiaries of NHSB.
