To strengthen the business presence in the industry further, Mr. Heng together with his father established Freshzo Seafood Sdn. Bhd. (formerly known as Meng How (Sabah) Sdn. Bhd.) (“Freshzo Seafood”). Freshzo Seafood, was granted an operating license to source raw supplies from fish landing jetties within the state, helping the Group to add value to its supply chain. His extensive experience in managing these enterprises has played a vital role in building his vast network of suppliers and customers within the seafood industry.

Mr. Heng took another strategic step to grow the business further by consolidating the subsidiaries under his stewardship namely MHC Coldstorage Sdn. Bhd., MO Foodmart Sdn. Bhd. and HGMC Holding Sdn. Bhd. by placing them under an investment holding company, PT Resources Holdings Berhad.
