Dynaglass Reinforced Plastic Pte Ltd

Dropping into the Enterprise Development Centre@SMa (EDC@SMa) is like visiting a friendly neighbourhood community club for Beno Seow, the Business Development Manager of Dynaglass Reinforced Plastic Pte Ltd. She is on first-name terms with the EDC@SMa staff and she attends talks and activities hosted by the centre.

Established in 1971, Dynaglass Reinforced Plastic Pte Ltd is a local manufacturer for fibre reinforced composite products. Its products are used in the marine, building, process and aerospace industries and are sold both locally and internationally.

For Dynaglass, working with EDC@SMa has been nothing but beneficial. One example was the firm’s struggle to hire foreign workers last year.

From past experience, Dynaglass found Bangladeshis and Indians to be best at adapting to the manufacturing environment of the industry. In 2007, however, the company floundered amidst red tape when it tried to hire Bangladeshi and Indian workers.

When the process dragged on for over three months, the company automatically turned to a trusted friend—the EDC@SMa. “No meetings. We simply included EDC@SMa and SPRING on all our email correspondence,” explained Ms Seow.

She added, “EDC@SMa knew that our reasons for wanting to hire Bangladeshi and Indian workers were bona fide. I do not know how they did it, but we got our workers!”
