How it started

History

Maica Laminates was formed in 1968 as a joint venture between a Malaysian investor and a premier Japanese manufacturer, Aica Kogyo. Aica Kogyo is certified as an 'Aichi Quality Company', which the Aichi Prefecture has certified as "superior manufacturing companies within the prefecture".

The company's products are exported worldwide. The company has several OEM customers in the local and foreign market.

Maica's main sales arm in Malaysia is Maica Corporation, incorporated in 1982, and to date comprises eight sales and distribution branches in the two countries. Their manufacturing company also handles OEM and export markets.

The company achieved ISO 9002 in 1995, and upgraded in the year 2003 to ISO 9001:2000. In 2009, the company renewed its ISO certification, this time to the new ISO 9001:2008. It has not one, but two ISO certifications, one from UKAS and another from Standard Malaysia. All certificates based on Maica Laminates official website and printed company profiles.
