The Group ventured into the manufacturing business in 2011 through the acquisition of 100% equity interest in Chuan Soon Huat Timber Industry (China) Co., Ltd. (“CSH”), a well-established company with a history spanning 50 years.

CSH is a large-scale manufacturer located in Kunshan, a vibrant technology development city approximately 45 minutes from Shanghai, China. Strategically positioned between Shanghai and Suzhou, Kunshan benefits from highly developed air, sea, rail and highway transportation networks, providing strong logistical advantages.

CSH operates from two manufacturing plants covering approximately 48,400 square metres. Its production facilities are equipped with advanced technology, with major equipment imported from Italy, Germany and England. The company has also achieved ISO 9002 SGS certification, ISO 14000 environmental management system certification, and FSC-qualified manufacturer status.

CSH specialises in the production of high-grade wooden doors and related products, including main doors for villas, room doors, louver doors, cabinet doors, sliding doors, double doors, fire-proof doors and outdoor patio products. These products are widely used in residential homes, office buildings, apartments, hotels and villas.

More than 70% of CSH’s products are exported, mainly to Europe and the United States of America. In the domestic China market, its products are marketed under the long-established “Johnson Door” trademark, which dates back to 1821, as well as under its own brand name, “Creative Door System”.

In view of the increasingly challenging geopolitical environment and changing global trade conditions, the Group has gradually wound down CSH’s operations as part of its ongoing business rationalisation efforts.
