About Me

When Koon Poh Keong returned home to Malaysia from the U.S. after graduation, he found no jobs on offer and Malaysia was in a recession. Poh Keong started his company by rallying his four brothers, who pooled $50,000 and began an aluminum-extruding outfit. Poh Keong is group CEO of aluminum company Press Metal while his brother Poh Ming is the executive vice chairman. He founded the company with his brothers by renting a factory in Puchong, Selangor, a state on the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia. Press Metal is Southeast Asia's largest integrated aluminum producer. It competes with the likes of Rio Tinto and China's Aluminum Corp.
