Direction of Katrin BJ

We would like to touch on the underlying reasons that influence our company’s direction. Malaysia is a very young nation with a very young population and a growing middle class with better purchasing power. However, most do not have “any idea” about what cookware to buy. Yet in every aspect of our daily life, cooking is a basic necessity and cookware is just as essential.

As a marketer of cookware, Katrin BJ believe that it is our duty to recommend and educate our consumers the right types of cookware to suit their lifestyle and different needs. This is crucial as consumers today are confused by all the choices that are presented to them.

We have through the 30 years in this business realized that in order to meet the differing needs of consumers, we have to provide a wide range of cookware ranging from non-stick, hard anodized to stainless steel etc. The brands that we brought into Malaysia are internationally the best and we always represent the brands exclusively. The OEM brands that we own are well marketed and are sourced from the top manufactures that are used by the top international brands.

Through the years, we have not wavered from our direction and are very focused to ensure a wider range of cookware and household items to be provided at different price level for all our customers.
