Established in 2008, First Grade Resources Sdn Bhd was founded by our Managing Director I, Tuan Haji Zulkifli bin Yusop A.M.K., with a vision to deliver high-quality products that consumers can trust.
Like many entrepreneurs, Tuan Haji Zulkifli began his journey by outsourcing the manufacturing of his products to third-party OEM factories. However, his commitment to quality and product excellence led him to realise that the standards he envisioned could only be achieved through greater control over the manufacturing process.
Driven by this belief, he took the bold step of establishing his own manufacturing facility. What began as a commitment to producing better products soon evolved into something much bigger. As the quality and effectiveness of the products gained recognition in the market, demand continued to grow. Before long, other brand owners began approaching First Grade Resources to develop and manufacture products for their own businesses.
Over the years, First Grade Resources has grown into one of Malaysia's leading halal OEM manufacturers, serving brands both locally and internationally. Today, the company develops and manufactures a wide range of products, including traditional health products (MAL), health supplements (FDI), skincare, cosmetics, personal care products and various external-use formulations. From head-to-toe wellness and beauty solutions, First Grade Resources offers comprehensive manufacturing capabilities across multiple product categories.
At the heart of our success is a strong commitment to research, innovation and quality. Our Research & Development team is supported by certified Chemists registered under Institut Kimia Malaysia, ensuring every formulation is developed with scientific expertise and industry best practices. Combined with a production capacity of up to 500,000 units per month, we are well-equipped to support both emerging and established brands in bringing their products to market.
Our commitment to excellence is further reflected through the certifications and standards we uphold, including Halal Malaysia, MESTI, Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP), ISO 9001 and various other industry-recognised certifications. These achievements have positioned First Grade Resources as one of the fastest-growing halal OEM manufacturers in the region.
Today, our products are not only distributed throughout Malaysia but are also developed for clients from around the world who trust us as their manufacturing partner.
With nearly two decades of industry experience, First Grade Resources continues to empower brands through innovation, quality manufacturing and a relentless pursuit of excellence. As the company continues to evolve, this same commitment has inspired the creation of Afflora, a platform designed to connect quality products, technology and meaningful opportunities for communities everywhere.
