Press Release

CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY VETERAN SIN THOW JOO BRICK WORKS
TAKES DELIVERY OF FIRST SCANIA TIPPER TRUCKS 

Chemor, Perak, 5 November, 2014 – Scania Malaysia today delivered the first two units

of Scania P410 CB 8x4 HHZ tipper truck with Scania Opticruise to construction industry

veteran Sin Thow Joo Brick Works Sdn Bhd, based in Chemor, Perak. These vehicles

also come with financing and insurance coverage from Scania Credit Malaysia.

Another five units are to be delivered to the brick manufacturer upon completion of the

long wheelbase ‘tipper’ which are currently under construction.




“Transporting our bricks have always been a challenge and we needed to ensure

minimum wastage in terms of breakages of our load to the buyers’ development sites. We

also needed to haul larger loads to the designated site on time in order to be competitive,”

stated the Managing Director of Sin Thow Joo, Mr Denny C.H.Tan.

“With the latest addition of our first Scania tipper trucks to our fleet, complete with

financing and insurance coverage from Scania, we believe the trucks will perform to

our requirements and give us the most in terms of reliability, uptime and fuel economy,”

added Denny Tan.


Established in 1972, the family run business began alongside the strong demand for

development of housing within Perak. The advent of cheaper wall blocks and bricks,

saw Sin Thow Joo facing stiff competition for the red bricks that it manufactures but their

commitment to quality and delivering within set deadlines, has enabled them to withstand

two recessions in Malaysia and it is now among the largest brick suppliers in the state of

Perak.


To date, some of Sin Thow Joo’s customers range from developers of educational

establishments such as the Poi Lam and Sam Chai Primary School in Ipoh, right up to

several thousand units from housing projects all over Ipoh.

The most prominent structure that Sin Thow Joo can be proud of will be the Aman Jaya

Bus Terminal, at Meru. Others include supplies to development of shop-houses, factories,

the De Garden Shopping Complex in Ipoh Garden and the Ipoh Downtown Hotel, to name

a few.


Handing over the keys at this inaugural event to Mr. Tan was the Sales Director for Truck

& Engine, Scania Southeast Asia, Mr. Roslan Effendi.

The Scania tipper truck has excellent manoeuvrability and handling and they are fit

for hard work in the most challenging conditions. Apart from that, these trucks are

assembled following strict guidelines set by the government agencies such as SPAD and

PUSPAKOM.


“A Scania tipper truck will make a significant and positive effect on productivity, which

in turn will maximise profitability for our customers. The truck can now carry 29 tons of

load after customizing to our customer’s needs; 17 tons more than before. And yet our

specifications that include Scania propriety technology like Opticruise, will still help the

driver and owner to achieve better fuel economy,” says Mr. Roslan.
