Cheng Mooh Tat, a Malaysian aged 60, is our Promoter and substantial
shareholder. He is also our Executive Chairman and
was appointed to our Board on 9 March 2020. He is responsible for overseeing
the overall business direction and strategies of our Group.
After completing his secondary school education in 1981 at Sekolah Menengah
Kebangsaan Simpang Empat, Pulau Pinang, Mr. Cheng was asked to join the
family's business, Guan Hoe Farming & Trader ("GHF&T") which was involved
in the trading of animal health and nutrition products focusing on the distribution
of veterinary pharmaceuticals, before he could pursue a tertiary programme in
India. While assisting in GHF&T, he continued his higher secondary education
at Maktab Adabi Bukit Mertajam where he completed his Sijil Tinggi
Persekolahan Malaysia in 1984. At GHF&T, he was a Sales Executive where
he was involved in the sales and marketing of the company's animal health and
nutrition products. He was also involved in overseeing the logistics matters of
the company. GHF&T was subsequently dissolved in 1993.
In August 1991, Mr. Cheng co-founded Yenher Agro with Danberg (M) Sdn
Bhd, a company which was principally involved in the distribution of animal
health and nutrition products and was one of GHF&T's suppliers. Mr. Cheng
served as a director in Yenher Agro and was responsible for overseeing the
business operations of the company. Following his experience gained from the
business, Mr. Cheng began to be involved in the development of various
premix formulas for the manufacturing activities of Yenher Agro which began
in 1996.
In May 2016, he established Yenher Biotech with his siblings, Cheng Mooh
Kheng and Cheng Mooh Chye, to venture into the production of animal feed
ingredients via fermentation processes and to undertake its related R&D
activities. He also served as a director of Yenher Biotech and was responsible
for overseeing the overall business operations and the development of product
formulations.
Mr. Cheng has played an instrumental role in the growth and development of
our Group throughout the years. His experience in the development of our
Group's products which included premixes, complete feed, formulated products
and biotech animal feed ingredients, has led to the expansion of the product
portfolio of our Group. In addition, he was also responsible for setting up of our
laboratory division, which has enabled our Group to conduct R&D activities as
well as perform various diagnostic and material analyses in-house.
As at LPD, Cheng Mooh Tat sits on the board of several private limited
companies as disclosed in Section 4.2.3 of this Prospectus.
