This company is featured on Focus Malaysia this week:

Size isn't everything, says Careplus

Being big has its advantages as it offers companies more resources and better cost structures. However, for Careplus Group Bhd, size or the lack thereof will not hold back its progress as long as it has its niche and competitive edge.

Careplus group CEO and executive director Lim Kwee Shyan, pictured, says being big gives advantages over smaller rivals; but he believes each has its own playground and ability to survive.

“Economies of scale are not a life-or-death game. If you are not in the range you will die – I do not believe in that. As far as size is concerned, do not let the generalisation hold you back,” he tells FocusM at the company’s head office in Seremban.

Careplus manufactures and trades in latex, nitrile and vinyl gloves as well as other disposable protection products such as facemasks, respirators, gowns and caps.

Analysts often claim the ongoing price competition among glove manufacturers will affect smaller players more as they lack economies of scale. “A good [business] system should consist of small, medium and large players. Smaller players can be very innovative and critical in generating ideas. I say this not because I am one of them. Yes, our scale and bottom line are lower when you’re comparing scale-to-scale,” says Lim.
