Trusted by Customers
“After many years in the furniture business, we decided to venture into the food industry by setting up a durian processing factory using produce from our own farm. We were introduced to Mr. Cheah by a business partner, and he assisted us in building the factory from scratch. Within just six months, he successfully helped us obtain GMP certification from KKM. He also advised us on GACC requirements for exporting to China.”

“I have been a cosmetic product distributor for over 10 years. In 2019, we decided to set up a GMP cosmetic factory but faced difficulties after our initial consultant withdrew. Through a business associate, I was introduced to Mr. Cheah. He redesigned our factory layout to comply with NPRA GMP standards and successfully assisted us in obtaining GMP certification from NPRA in 2020.”

“As a household detergent manufacturer, we faced repeated Halal application rejections—five times over three years—which limited our ability to supply major hotel chains and participate in hospital tenders. We engaged Vcare 2U for assistance, and after Mr. Cheah helped us improve our factory setup and documentation, we successfully obtained Halal certification.”
