Cahya Mata Sarawak Berhad

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cahya Mata Sarawak Berhad (CMSB) (MYX: 2852), which means "the light of Sarawak's eye" in the Malay language, is a major company in Sarawak, Malaysia. It grew from a single product manufacturer of Portland cement in 1974, to become a major driving force in the state of Sarawak's economic development through its operations in finance and infrastructure.

The Group's founder company, Cement Manufacturers Sarawak Sdn Bhd, was the first company in East Malaysia to manufacture Portland cement, and prides itself as being the first Sarawak-based company to be listed on Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad in 1989.

In 1994, Cement Manufacturers Sarawak Berhad's business undertook expansion, diversification and acquisition. Within a few short years, the Group became Sarawak's largest player in financial services and infrastructure development. Subsequently, the company’s name was changed to Cahya Mata Sarawak Berhad (CMSB) in 1996.

Today, CMS' business operations cover Construction & Road Maintenance, Cement & Construction Materials, Property Development, Financial Services, Trading, Education, Technology, and a dedicated strategic business unit on opportunities under the banner of Similajau Development.
