Mr. Hew began his career in 2005 until 2014 in Global Closure Systems. He started as the Process Engineer and advanced through several key roles to Regional Manufacturing Manager for Asia. He managed staff across factories in Shanghai, Bangkok, and Manila for a leading European company in the plastic packaging industry, successfully leading a diverse team in a complex, multi-national environment. He then joined Top Glove as General Manager of Manufacturing and Head of Group HR, overseeing operations and leading the HR function at the group level until 2016.
In 2016, he moved to Pemara Label, a global leader in flexible packaging and label manufacturing for FMCG, beverages, and pharmaceuticals, where he served as General Manager until 2018, overseeing all business functions. Feeling his role had become redundant, he left Pemara Label and joined CHEP in 2019. CHEP, a subsidiary of Brambles Limited, is a leading global company specializing in the pooling of unit-load equipment, pallets, crates, and containers, and is listed on the Australian Securities Exchange.
In 2024, Mr. Hew left CHEP and joined Crop Protection as Group Chief Operating Officer. Crop Protection is one of the largest agrochemical manufacturers in Malaysia, producing mainstream herbicides and fungicides for the agriculture industry with a distribution network of over 400 outlets across Malaysia. In his current role, he manages all operations-related departments, including Production, Engineering, Quality, Procurement, Logistics, and Sales Operations.
