Meranti Marshal’s Family Legacy To Carry On

An Enduring And Expanding Legacy

Family-owned and operated Meranti Marshal Sdn Bhd is an exemplar of a company that constantly reaches for greater heights.

Established in 1989, Meranti Marshal is an award-winning company that supplies consistently high-quality furniture. With Meranti Marshal being a family business, Director Umar Dato’ Md Pishal not only wishes to continue his parents’ legacy, but wishes to expand on it. That is why, despite having already been operating for over four decades, Meranti Marshal is still ever-so dedicated to continuous evolvement and growth.

The company covers a lot of ground with their various offerings from working with gorgeous interior design projects to open market products for end-users. However, there is plenty more in the works.

For instance, Meranti Marshal plans to expand their factories to the Muar Furniture Park. This will further propel Malaysia’s status as one of the largest furniture exporters in Asia.

Furthermore, Meranti Marshal also intends to streamline their work through digitalization and lean management to improve their productivity whilst lowering costs. The company is also dedicated to sustainability. Umar brought up the importance of using surplus wood instead of just throwing out the wood. The excess wood could be repurposed to make a coffee table or even to create small but innovative accessories such as wooden cardholders.

When a company such as Meranti Marshal seeks progress, it’s vital that the support needed is there. With the help of the Malaysian Timber Industry Board, Meranti Marshal is able to use a range of machineries and talented craftspeople to truly bring out the full potential of timber. MTIB’s support with the machinery has allowed Meranti Marshal to produce much more satisfactory outcomes.

MTIB also helps promote the beauty of wood, which is a very versatile material. Umar believes that when done well, wooden furniture is something that can appeal to people of all walks of life. There is always a trendiness attainable with wood, as it can blend easily with a plethora of other materials such as metal, glass, and more. Many of Meranti Marshal’s interior projects also equip plenty of intelligently designed wooden furniture, which totally elevates the designs. This goes to show that wood can match up to anything that is in trend and how Meranti Marshal’s excellent mastery over innovativeness keeps them up to par with any demands.

Through the combination of advanced technology, research and development, improved welfare and work conditions for employees, as well as the evergreen beauty of timber, Meranti Marshal is a company that can bring out all sorts of ambiences from wood to suit customers’ desires.
