Lion Group

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lion Group Malaysia is headed by chairman and chief executive officer Tan Sri William Cheng. Cheng’s grandfather founded Lion as a small trading company in Singapore after leaving China in the 1920s. It became Malaysia’s biggest steel manufacturer after winning a license from the government in 1978. One of the group's biggest investments is Suzuki Assemblers Malaysia Sdn Bhd which manufactures Suzuki motorcycles for the Malaysian market.

Lion Group’s key assets in Malaysia are two steel mills with a capacity of 3 million tons a year, a forest concession in Sabah that is four times the size of Singapore, and the Silverstone tyre making business. Lion also has 26 Parkson department stores in Malaysia, 13 stores in China, and nine breweries in China.
