UPC Chemicals Malaysia Buys Heavy Duty UD Quester Trucks

UD Trucks is the truck brand of choice for UPC Chemicals (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd, as the company requires “trucks that are robust, reliable, fuel-efficient and affordable” to transport its products all over Malaysia. The petrochemical company bought the five units of heavy-duty UD Quester trucks from Edaran Setia Auto, one of UD sole distributor partner, Tan Chong Industrial Equipment Sdn Bhd’s (TCIE) authorised private dealers in the east coast. The truck handover ceremony was held at UPC Chemicals’ Port Tank Farm in Kuantan.

UPC Chemicals is part of UPC Technology Corporation, a Taiwan-based petrochemical products producer founded in 1976. Other than its core chemical business, UPC supports the development of specialty chemicals and logistics service businesses. With 7 manufacturing and logistics centers in China, UPC is expanding its business in Asia Pacific and has been working closely with local raw material supplier BASF Petronas Chemicals Sdn Bhd to meet the demand of the rapidly growing ASEAN market.

“To meet the fast-growing business, we know that we should be better prepared to handle more deliveries. We need trucks that are robust, reliable, fuel-efficient and affordable to transport our products to customers in all over Peninsular Malaysia. Together with Edaran Setia Auto, who has been very graciously meeting all our demands, we believe that the new UD Quester will definitely help us increase our business productivity,” said Wu Weiting, General Manager, UPC Chemicals (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd.

At the handover ceremony, Eddy Chan, Director, Sales and Marketing, UD Trucks Malaysia commented, “The UD Trucks brand is highly notable for its Japanese craftsmanship and hands-on field approach which are key factors in creating reliable, durable, fuel-efficient and modern-looking trucks that are built to go the extra mile. The Quester truck was engineered with global technological know-how and safety principles to help customers stay ahead of the competition. With our long-time partner, TCIE’s extensive expertise in local sourcing and assembly, it allows the Quester to be an affordable heavy-duty vehicle that does not compromise on superior performance.”

Sharing Chan’s view, Wong King Yoon, Chief Executive Officer, Tan Chong Industrial Equipment Sdn Bhd said, “I am confident that UPC Chemicals (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd is in good hands because Edaran Setia Auto already has TCIE’s full support in providing excellent UD Trucks aftermarket service and easily obtainable UD Genuine Parts through our vast service network.
