TRUMER International Berhad, a company committed to providing healthcare services, is hoping to touch lives through what it has to offer.
The company, which went fully operational in 2009 with a paid-up capital of RM8mil, started off small in providing a holistic and alternative medical approach to terminally ill patients.
Its business development head Boon H. Tai said the business started out of compassion and interest by some individuals who treated those who came to them as a last resort.
“They treated upon recommendation and by word of mouth more, people started to know about the treatments, which use alternative medicines, and it has helped many who came here without much hope.
“That’s how the company started,” he said.
It has not looked back since as it acquired several subsidiaries of delisted public company Avangarde resources Bhd (ARB) in October 2010.
Tik: Our ultimate objective is not so much to make money but to touch lives in a positive manner by actively bridging the gap between corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities and business strategies. ARB shareholders have been given a new hope by Trumer through the issuance of 10 million Trumer shares to the 4.459 nominal shareholders.
Company chairman Datuk Tik Mustaffa said the distribution was done to allow the shareholders to participate in the businesses and future profitability of the company.
“Our ultimate objective is not so much to make money but to touch lives in a positive manner by actively bridging the gap between corporate social responsibility (CSR) activities and business strategies,” he said during a share certificate presentation ceremony recently.
As such, one of the cornerstones of the Trumer group is the operation of an alternative, holistic therapy centre to care for those afflicted by cancer and other chronic illnesses.
The Trumer Centre is a non-profit operation and is financially supported by its group of companies to enable affordable access to its health therapies by anyone in need.
“We are not very concerned with profit maximisation as our business is more towards profit optimisation. What we really want to do is to make treatments more affordable to those who need it,” he said.
The company is also in the midst of setting up the Trumer Foundation, which would be launched this month.
Led by a strong management team comprising experienced professionals and entrepreneurs, Trumer is currently operating several business units in various sectors, including an online barter trading platform; online shopping portal with a physical retail presence; production of nutritional supplements; and corporate advisory services.
The company will be expanding into areas such as diagnostic services, medical equipment, agriculture and property.
“There are 12 subsidiary companies under this group and by next year, we would be launching three more,” added Tik.
