Chemsain Konsultant Sdn. Bhd. traces its history back to 1984 when it was first incorporated on 19th November, founded by Mr. Chan Woon Peng, formerly Director of the Chemistry Department, Sarawak. The Company was set up to provide laboratory services to the public. Later, the supply division was formed when there was a need for laboratory chemicals and equipment which were difficult to source. In the early 1990s, the company also started to cater for the needs of environmental services and develop other core businesses related to the same field. Nowadays, the Company is well established to provide laboratory services, supply of laboratory and scientific/medical equipment, and scientific and engineering consultancies including environmental studies.
