Braun, Petronas Lubricants, Saint Gobain, and TNT. Go-to-market is sales-led, driven by website content marketing, country/industry-specific landing pages, newsletter subscriptions, and direct inquiry conversion.

YCP Group encompasses affiliated brands including YCP Holdings, YCP Professional, YCP Supply Chain, YCP Sustainability, YCP Renoir, YCP Unison, and YCP India, indicating a diversified portfolio approach where consulting insights are reportedly reinforced by principal investment experience from 50+ group-owned businesses across Asia.
