the needs of different people, markets
and cultures.
“We have been in Brunei and Malaysia
for three decades, where we have established
strong footholds, and we are seeing exciting
new growth throughout Asean and China,”
says Melvin.
“Our company specialises in five major
business lines: engineering and construction;
technical services; energy; facility and plant
maintenance; and product distribution.
Innovation is of particular importance as we
develop new technology for clean energy,
automation and robotics to develop our
competitive advantage,” explains Melvin.
Cyclect is also looking at robotic and
automation solutions to improve baggage
handling, performing tasks that use human
resources inefficiently. “We are particularly
proud of these projects because they will
potentially make a significant difference to
a great number of people.”
Nevertheless, Cyclect has not forgotten its
roots in the business of ship repair. “We haveworked on thousands of vessels in the global
marine industry and now have a reputable
standing as a highly reliable service provider,”
says Melvin. Since its first contract with the
Royal British Navy in 1957, Cyclect has
served thousands of customers in the industry,
including global shipping companies,
shipyards, FPSO (floating production storage
and offloading) units and oil rig operators.
“Our business is diverse and challenging, and
this speaks to the capability of our people to
deliver.” Cyclect is a two-time winner of the
Prime Minister’s Office TEC Innovator
Award, and has also been honoured with the
Enterprise 50 Award, Asean Federation’s Best
Contractor Award, World Intellectual Property
Organization Award, Singapore Sustainability
Award, Asean Award for Innovation, as well as
dozens of safety awards.
After two decades of steering Cyclect
through the ups and downs of economic
cycles and changing industries, Melvin has
learned one key lesson: innovation is essential.
