History

Sapura began with six staff members, in a one-room office. They were mainly involved in the telecommunications industry, with the purchase of Uniphone Works from United Motor Works (now UMW Holdings), in 1975. In the 1980s, the company acquired Malayan Cables Berhad. [3]

By 1991, Sapura consisted of thirty subsidiaries and two publicly listed companies. [4] With its rapid expansion, Sapura became involved in the automotive industry, by establishing Sapura Motor Berhad, in 1994, [4] which was eventually listed on the main board of the nation's primary stock exchange, Bursa Malaysia, and renamed Sapura Industrial Berhad.[ citation needed ]

The company's expansion continued with the establishment of new divisions, such as Sapura Energy Berhad, Sapura Resources Berhad, Sapura Aero Sdn Bhd, and Sapura Secured Technologies, which variously specialized in oil and gas, manufacturing, engineering, property, aviation, defence, and rail construction.
