Corporate History
The humble journey begins with our co-founders, our Executive Director and CEO, Dr Louis Ooi Shu Geok, and our Executive Director and Chief Development Officer (CDO), Ms May Chong Moi Me, who have over 13 years and 22 years of experience respectively in providing testing, and/or certification services. They incorporated our first subsidiary, MY CO2 SDN BHD, and established the first laboratory of our group in 2006, which has since been in the business of laboratory testing and/or certification services in Malaysia for over 15 years. The laboratory testing services have been consolidated under our testing division. Currently, MY CO2 SDN BHD principally distributes conformity assessment technology - (including the development of cloud-based applications). Subsequently, we expanded our scale of operations by incorporating other subsidiaries and expanded our range of services to include assessment, certification, and trading. Throughout the years, we believe that we have built up a reputation as a quality and reliable provider of testing, and certification services in Malaysia, as a result of our accreditations from the Department of Standards Malaysia.
Within two years of incorporating MY CO2 SDN BHD in 2006, our group obtained its first ISO/IEC 17025 accreditation in 2008. After that, we undertook our expansion geographically within Malaysia. In 2011, we expanded to Kuala Lumpur in Central Malaysia and incorporated MY CO2 (KL) SDN BHD in Shah Alam in 2015. MY CO2 (KL) SDN BHD is engaged in providing third-party testing and assessment services to assist customers in complying with international standards (through our ISO/IEC 17025 accredited laboratories). In 2015, we incorporated MY CO2 (JB) SDN BHD (under our testing division) to facilitate our expansion into the Southern state of Malaysia. To streamline our testing operations, we incorporated MY CO2 (PG) SDN BHD in 2017. After that, the testing division was consolidated under these three entities. The exercise allowed MY CO2 SDN BHD to focus on distributing conformity assessment technology and providing support (such as human resource, finance and maintenance) services to the rest of our group. We also have a team of IT engineers in MY CO2 SDN BHD who are trained to maintain our systems. Furthermore, we have established a sales office in Kota Bahru to market and promote our services in July 2022.
Aside from our group’s geographic expansion, we have diversified our range of operations and services. In 2013, we diversified our operations into trading laboratory chemicals, laboratory equipment and laboratory solutions by incorporating EMPIRIC SCIENCE SDN BHD. Our group also established MY CO2 CERTIFICATION SDN BHD in 2016 as a certification entity providing management system certification services for companies in Malaysia. We also incorporated LMS COMPLIANCE INTERNATIONAL PTE LTD in 2019 and intend to use it for our Group’s expansion and investments in the future into Asia, such as China and Indonesia.
Over the years, our office and laboratory space have grown from an initial size of not more than 800 square feet to more than 19,000 square feet as of 16 September 2022 across three accredited laboratories strategically located in Penang, Shah Alam and Johor Bahru. In recognition of our services, we have also received several accreditations and awards. We were accredited with ISO/IEC 17025 and ISO/IEC 17021 by the Department of Standards Malaysia (for testing laboratories and bodies providing audit and certifications), and were also recognised by the International Laboratory Accreditation Cooperation and the International Accreditation Forum.
After a restructuring exercise, LMS COMPLIANCE PTE LTD has become the holding company of our group. It holds the entire interest of two subsidiaries, namely, LMS COMPLIANCE INTERNATIONAL PTE LTD and MY CO2 GROUP SDN BHD, the latter of which holds the entire interest of six subsidiaries in Malaysia, namely, MY CO2 CERTIFICATION SDN BHD, MY CO2 (PG) SDN BHD, MY CO2 (KL) SDN BHD, MY CO2 (JB) SDN BHD, EMPIRIC SCIENCE SDN BHD and MY CO2 SDN BHD.
