Vismart, Sdn. Bhd.

t was in 1981, when Steven Low (present M.D.) suggested to Max Yeoh, then the sole proprietor of Min Tek Trading, the idea of forming Vismart Sdn Bhd as a distribution house in Malaysia. At that time, most of the distribution companies were owned by foreigners, only a few adventurous locals would dare to venture into this field. Opportunities were aplenty then. When we first started in early 1982, the main bulk of the business was in audio-visual products. It consisted of overhead, slide 16/35 mm movie & opaque projectors. In addition to these, we were also distributing OHP transparency, projection screen, lamps & related products. Our business came into fruition in 1984, when we were given the opportunity to promote Texas Instrument ‘Children learning aids’. We were able to appoint many direct selling agents (independent) who went about promoting this range of products throughout the country. Business was brisk and most of the transactions were in CASH.
