Journey Through the History of PPBLM

-
President Low Cheng Ho, worked diligently for six months to facilitate the registration process, laying a solid foundation for PPBLM's formation.
2007
Formation of PPBLM
-
The association was officially established on February 6, 2007, under the initial name of the "Persatuan Pemborong Barangan Logam Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur dan Selangor."
