Not Sitting On His Laurels

FROM MANUFACTURING SIMPLE BOXES TO A WIDE VARIETY OF OFFICE FURNITURE, YONG YOOK SENG HAS ALWAYS LOOKED AHEAD OF THE CURVE TO GROW BIGGER.

ENTREPRENEURS are always encouraged to dream big.But for Bristol Technologies Sdn Bhd founder and managing director Yong Yook Seng, 64, what matters more is taking things one step at a time to build the fundamentals of a company.

He describes his office furniture manufacturing company as a work-in-progress and a cumulation of many years of experience.Yong started his entrepreneurial journey from humble beginnings, starting as a small wooden boxes manufacturer based in Salak South, KL in 1980. He set up shop in his own backyard and hired only one staff.“I knew I had to start somewhere to become an entrepreneur,” he says.

This entailed getting wood scraps from sawmills

These boxes were used by a Japanese electronics company to package huge electrical items such as washing machines and refrigerators.He made 12,000 boxes a month and production went on like this for two years.But Yong was practical. He knew that such a business was of low value and would be prone to having many competitors given the simplicity of the product.And true enough, over time, he saw more of such manufacturers going into the business.But Yong was prepared. He had built a new revenue stream for the company.“I started visiting European countries to look for products that I can market in Malaysia, and I saw demand for chair components such as castor wheels, chair base, gas springs, tilt mechanism and other things,” he says.Yong explains that it was not particularly difficult to convince these European manufacturers to sell him their products as Malaysia was a new market for them and he was, in a way, opening up a new door for them.

The company also uses robotic arms to ensure strong welding for their furniture components.

But just as he had predicted intense competition for his box manufacturing business, he was just as aware that his chair components trading business would likewise face heavy competition in the near future. After all, there would be others who will be able to import these products as well.So while trading his wares to chair manufacturers, he plotted his next move for another revenue stream.In 1983, he established Bristol Industries as an office chair manufacturing company. Their new base was in a rented factory lot in Segambut, Kuala Lumpur. This time, he had 20 staff.He has fond memories of the company’s first premises despite it being an inconvenience at certain times of the year. The factory was located in a low lying area, which was prone to floods, particularly during the monsoon season in November and December. Imagine having to use boats to transport staff and products in the middle of an industrial area! Yong has experienced it.But business was brisk.In the first year alone, the company managed to manufacture and sell about 12,000 chairs to various offices.Yong continued to look for ways to expand the company’s market.They started participating in furniture fairs overseas and in 1988, started exports to Dubai.“We have to compete with more reputable furniture manufacturer such as from Italy. We worked hard on our design and ensure comfort of our chairs. Seeing and feeling is believing! Apart from that, we also made sure our chairs are competitively priced as well,” he adds.

Taking shape: One of the staff verifying the design of the components used in the furniture.

Their hard work and perseverance paid off. In 1990, they moved into their own 18acre factory in Seri Kembangan, Selangor.Yong also saw more opportunities in the furniture business to venture into.“We saw that many companies prefer one-stop solutions where they can get a variety of office furniture instead of getting different types of furniture from different manufacturers. Hence, we started to design other furniture such as office tables, partitions, sofas to cabinets,” he explains.And that was when the company really started seeing strong year-on-year growth.

Today, they have over 50 products and have nine offices worldwide, including in India, Thailand and Singapore. His staff count has also increased to 500.In 2015, they achieved a revenue of RM38mil and over 70% of their products were exported to over 20 countries such as India, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand and the US.“When you grow a company to that size, it is no longer about solo entrepreneurship. It is about having good people to help you and teamwork becomes vital. Next is branding,” he says.He also ensures that his employees are able to see what is ahead to motivate them to work towards the goal.“We are also very careful and concerned of section heads who are not competent and could stifle the growth of people in their division,” he says.Yong keeps tab of everything that is happening in the company, from the development of his products to the development of his people.

This is why he is seated right in the middle of the ground floor of the office, in an open area where most of the staff would be discussing about work or having a break.Another aspect that he shared about growing his company is to always think ahead, and in some cases, it means thinking about the rain even when it is still sunny.“We make a habit to grow with very little bank borrowings. During the financial crisis, we did not retrench any staff,” he states proudly.In year 2000, they rebranded to its current name, Bristol Technologies, and invested a lot in advertising and promotions to build the brand name.Moving forward, they are planning to build a factory in India, China and Indonesia, which Yong hopes would materialise in the next two years.

Office Furniture Solutions For The Post Lock-down Workplace

Opinion

Office Furniture Solutions for the Post-Lockdown Workplace

“The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you got to put up with the rain.” Never did we think a day like this would come in our lifetime.

This epidemic which took everyone by storm, changed the way we do business, the way we interact with each other and the way we work. Things will change once restrictions are lifted and offices resume and the workforce will fire up their engines to pave the way for India becoming a super economy but office administrations will face a challenging situation of how to manage the workforce within the offices.

Workplaces which were built entirely on the concept of open offices will face the maximum challenges as during this pandemic period close contact between work forces is the last thing any office administration will want. Being in the office furniture industry, we thought of sharing few solutions which might be helpful for offices existing and new to promote the concept of human distancing.

Installation of higher front panels

Firstly, the introduction of wider sized workstations of minimum dimensions of 1500x750mm to increase the distancing between the linear seating arrangements. Installation of higher front panel with height 500 mm or more with non-fabric material as fabric has tendency to soak aerosol particles which may be released when the person sneezes. More importantly, it can be easily cleaned or sanitized by disinfectant soaked clothes or sprays.

Encourage the distancing

Installation of panels vertically across the workstations to encourage the distancing between the workstation. New offices can think of bringing back the panel based systems which creates more sense of enclosed space.

Artiv workstation with decorative sticker on glass panel

Panel or cubicle workstations

Bristol has many adaptable products such as Artiv, Klug, Decibel 43 that are easy to install and promotes distancing, creating an isolated work space for the user.

Mesh chairs are easier to disinfect

Usage of Nylon mesh based chairs wherein the seating and backrest both are made up of Nylon mesh can easily be disinfected and cleaned without any damage to the material in comparison to the fabric cushion based chairs.

Soul chair midback full mesh

Mobile furniture for configuration changes

Installation of foldable / mobile tables for meeting rooms for easier mobility of the tables to accommodate appropriate distancing from the multiple users in the room.

Bristol launches Acoustic Microarchitectural Panel System – Decibel 43

Bristol launches Acoustic Microarchitectural Panel System – Decibel 43

Bristol will manifest its vision for better workplaces with an innovative system Decibel 43, an acoustic microarchitectural panel system that is aesthetically pleasing, colourful and functional.

The collection is a comprehensive approach to solution-driven acoustic furniture and accessories, designed to balance collaboration and privacy.

Tackling Workplace Distractions

As the open plan concept becomes more prominent in modern workplace today, there has been greater emphasis placed on curbing interruptions usually associated with it, mainly in the form of noise and visual distractions. Studies shows that it takes an average of 23 minutes[1] to get back into a focus once you’ve been distracted, which adds up to a big chunk of lost work productivity in a day.
Spurred by the demands of the modern open workplace for noise buffers and smaller carved out spaces for people to meet, Decibel 43 seamlessly combines furniture and Micro-Architecture to create versatile space division and enclosures while keeping the overall feel of an open and social environment. They are designed to work together individually and collectively to create practical spatial concepts for group collaboration and individual privacy to optimize productivity and creativity.

Designed for designers

The system was designed with architects and space planners in mind, to offer them the flexibility to plan large open spaces with acoustic privacy and the tools to personalize the system, so that the project could have its own unique look.

Acoustic comfort

As its chief function is to create acoustic comfort, we named the system Decibel 43, the unit for measuring the intensity of a sound and the thickness of each panel which is 43mm. After numerous design trials and prototype testing of the materials, Bristol has developed a proprietary composite that is ecologically sustainable, made from recyclable materials. Each system provides effective noise reduction, whereby the reverberation time can be reduced by an average of 60-65% in the frequency range of 200-2000 Hz.

Four new solutions under one series

The units can be offered in various sizes, and fitted with media and electrical integrations as well as height adjustable tables. A wide range of accessories which include shelves, document organisers, caddies, rotating tables are available. You can also personalise the unit with your logo, user name or serial number laser inscribed into the units.
Led by purpose, backed by research, and driven by design, Decibel 43 will help you design great spaces so that we can work better.
Since its inception in 1983, Bristol has consistently provided customers with high quality products that are not only aesthetically appealing but also functional. The company constantly strives to meet the needs of the changing modern workplace without compromising on quality or safety. Each Bristol product is made in compliance with international safety and durability standards.

This global award ceremony is aimed not only to recognise their achievements and successes but to further encourage their determination to stay competitive and to overcome the many challenges globally.

The global awards presentation is aimed to create a solid platform for business networking opportunities among the successful and astute entrepreneurs. These initiatives will serve as a catalyst for the emergence of new business potentials and to spur the global industrial growth despite the current global economic slowdown. Undeniably, the McMillan Woods Global Awards 2018 is also aimed to target the crème de la crème leaders who have aspirations to chart the uncharted territories across the unknown horizon.

The main objectives of the global awards are:
