RESPACK AT MATRADE PPSPP 2025- DRIVING GLOBAL COMPETITIVENESS FROM THE NORTH
At Respack, we believe that sustainable business growth begins with knowledge-sharing, collaboration, and the courage to embrace change. That’s why we were proud to be part of the MATRADE PPSPP – SPP-PMKS Benchmarking Program 2025, recently held in Sungai Petani, Kedah.
This meaningful event brought together SMEs from across the northern region to explore strategies that drive resilience, improve competitiveness, and strengthen readiness for the global stage.
As part of the event, our Managing Director, CK Wan, was invited to speak during a fireside chat session — a refreshing format that moved beyond scripted presentations and into real, transparent conversations.
🔥 A Platform for Honest Dialogue
The fireside chat offered participants a rare opportunity to engage directly with the speakers. Business owners, industry practitioners, and SME leaders were encouraged to ask unfiltered questions on the real challenges they face — from supply chain issues to innovation barriers and leadership dilemmas.
CK Wan shared from Respack’s own journey:
-How we transitioned from a local manufacturing setup to a global exporter
-The operational shifts required to remain agile in a post-pandemic world
-What it means to lead with both strategy and empathy in a fast-changing industry
“We don’t believe in giving textbook answers. We believe in sharing what actually works and what we learned when it didn’t,” said CK during the session.
🌐 From Regional Roots to Global Reach
Participating in PPSPP is not just about delivering a talk — it's about contributing to a shared mission. MATRADE’s initiative is designed to equip SMEs in the northern corridor with the tools, frameworks, and mindset needed to thrive beyond domestic markets.
Through structured benchmarking, networking, and leadership exposure, the program supports companies in aligning with international standards and global best practices.Respack is honoured to support this mission. We understand firsthand the complexities SMEs face, especially when managing growth while maintaining core values and quality.
We thank MATRADE for leading this impactful initiative and for the opportunity to be part of a conversation that matters. We also extend our appreciation to all the participants who showed up with curiosity, asked bold questions, and shared their own stories.
At Respack, we’re committed to walking alongside our fellow Malaysian businesses — exchanging knowledge, creating opportunities, and growing stronger together.
This is how we move from the North to the world.
