MISSION STATEMENT AND VALUES

Products and Services

Quality, reliability, and flexibility are three key words to Tang Tiew Hee & Sons Sdn Bhd. The ability to deliver top quality ships in efficient timeframe at reasonable prices has differentiated the company from its competitors.

Our competitive edge comes from two major factors: people and machineries.

On site we have recruited a team of experienced and knowledgeable, some even qualified workforce from local and overseas. All of our contractors and most of our staff have been working with us for many years and held the same belief on providing excellence for customers. The enduring relationship between the management and workers indeed makes it much easier to communicate on shipbuilding related issues, which is significant for ensuring the projects to be completed on time.

Apart from our skillful employees, we have adopted a range of advanced machineries in order to generate superior productions. In addition to the compulsory equipments, in 2009 we acquired CNC plasma automated cutting system. This state-of-the-art machine helps us to cut ship plates in any shapes with almost surgical precision, even for those difficult curves, inside cuts and sharp corners. Our fully-trained operator only needs to create shapes to be cut on computer and let computer runs the machine. He is also able to control the direction of the cutter anytime with his computer. Furthermore, we own two large-sized cranes with lifting capacity in between 100 to 140 tons, which assist us to assemble materials in chunks before composing them into an entire ship. These procedures save a lot of time and cost, which help us to cut back on prices for our customers.
