Research & Technical Services

With the strong support from a highly professional team consisting of experienced management staff, research scientists, process engineers as well as sales and production personnel, the scope of activities of MG EcoTech encompasses the entire flow from research to production and marketing.  This has formed the strong platform for the MG EcoTech Group as a whole as for its edge on other players in the market in terms of commercialization of its newly-developed products and processes.

MG EcoTech possesses the proven technical capabilities of transforming organic waste including green waste from the palm oil industry into a range of BOF catering for different requirements.  While the patent application for this proprietary process was filed in February 2004, on-going research efforts in both basic and application aspects will continue.  In addition, MG EcoTech has the capability in providing strategic partners with joint research opportunities to further enhance the production process.

In this rapid-paced technology development era, registration of intellectual property rights is not only a prudent commercial procedure but has become a business routine necessity.  This is to protect and to clarify the rights of the company, its employees in the IP development and the rights of company’s shareholders.  We have so far successfully registered at least two proprietary processes and products and a number of trademarks. 

Bioprocess Engineering

As mentioned, technical capability in producing the agro-related range of products including BOF from raw materials of biodegradable nature, particularly those disease-control types, is considered relatively demanding as the process will involve property assessment of the selected raw materials, close monitoring on certain key parameters during the active biodegradation stage as well as  quality control of the end products.

In addition, the scalable methodology adopted provides flexibility in contracting the proprietary fertilizer production process to strategic partners such as the existing fertilizer producers and plantation companies under two different business arrangements namely the “Co-Manufacture™ Program” and the “BioWorks® Scheme” respectively.

The successful experience in our commercialization efforts in terms of organic waste management capability in the past few years should demonstrate our ability in repeating similar outcome in our future development in such aspects.  Some of the examples are :

• Poultry Waste Management Plant at Ijuk in West Malaysia for Lay Hong Bhd under the “Co-Manufacture™ Program”

• Palm Oil Waste Management Plant at Lahad Datu in East Malaysia for MG BioGreen Sdn Bhd under the “BioWorks® Scheme”

• Horse Waste Management Plant to be set up in Hong Kong under New Green Environmental Sciences Ltd for the “2008 Olympic Equestrian Event” to be held there.

Marketing Of Specialist Products

On sales and marketing as well as business development, we have a group of experienced personnel looking after the niche market for the agro-related range of products including BOF in various sectors such as plantations, horticulture, fruits and vegetable both in Malaysia and overseas.

After three years in operation, we have established a mature and experienced sales and marketing team to service and continuously develop the target markets in both the Peninsular and East Malaysia.

As far as sales and marketing are concerned, the clear strength of MG EcoTech over other players in the market is its knowledge-based background.  In this specialist market, the customers’ expectation is far beyond those physical products; our technical support to them is far more important than the physical products, particularly those established plantation companies.

With MG EcoTech’s strong background on research and provision of technical services, this gives the Group an important edge on its competitors.  One example is that a fertilizer recommendation based on scientific analysis of soil nutrient status and accurate crop needs is a pre-requisite to an efficient nutrient supply and yield maximization.
