EUROCHAM Malaysia would like to highlight our Corporate Partner, Unilin Group! Unilin Group engineers manufacture and market smart living solutions to help create beautiful and comfortable spaces.

Unilin Group’s origin lies in what we now call the circular economy. The company was founded in 1960 by about forty flax farmers. They started as manufacturers of flax shive boards using flax loam, a waste product from the flax industry. Today Unilin Group continues to incorporate these circular principles into its processes. Unilin Group has developed into a world player and is mainly known for its Quick-Step floors.

Unilin Group fosters a culture of boldness as they share a unique way of working – the Unilin way! The company’s culture is built on 4 strong pillars: Passion, Entrepreneurship, Excellence, and Respect. This allows the company to innovate, take initiative, and push boundaries.

We would like to welcome our new member Malaysia Expatriate Services Centre Sdn Bhd (MyXpats Centre) to EUROCHAM Malaysia!
