What CWG Holdings does
CWG Holdings Berhad is a Malaysia-incorporated public company listed on Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (KLSE:CWG), headquartered in Butterworth, Penang, with operations traced back to 1959 through its predecessor Chee Wah Corporation Berhad. The Group manufactures and distributes a diversified portfolio of stationery, art supplies, children's books, paper products, gift wraps and packaging solutions under its flagship CAMPAP brand, supported by state-of-the-art production facilities, ISO 9001:2015 quality certification and Forest Stewardship Council Chain-of-Custody compliance maintained since 2010.
The Group monetizes primarily through wholesale and retail distribution of physical paper-based and stationery products via a domestic network spanning hypermarkets, bookstores, supermarkets and multinational corporations, complemented by international exports to over 58 countries. Pricing is not publicly disclosed. Since 2023, CWG has diversified beyond core stationery into two adjacent verticals: commercial property development via the CWG Park @ Simpang Ampat project in Penang (launched October 2023, near-full take-up as at 30 September 2025), and label and sticker printing via the October 2024 acquisition of Unigenius Holding Sdn. Bhd. (parent of Unigenius Print Sdn. Bhd. and Inbox Packaging Sdn. Bhd.).
The company is led by Mr. Tan Hing Ming as Group Managing Director, employs 251-500 staff, and operates as an independent listed group without a disclosed parent entity. Its customer base is horizontally segmented across general consumers/retail and corporate procurement channels, with brand equity (CAMPAP Superbrands Malaysia Awards, BrandLaureate BestBrands Award) acting as a key commercial lever alongside the geographic distribution footprint.
