The company was incorporated in 1996, and the relevant investments were made in 2012, 16 years later. The company is an actual operating entity conducting regular business, generating revenue from sale of goods, employing staff, and recognized by Singapore's Economic Development Board as the Asia Pacific headquarters and regional trading hub.
