Who We Are
Our history
Our founders, Mr Chong Yuke Wan and Madam Hong Ah May started their silk screen printing company in 1979 at an unassuming workshop nestled at 21 Cuff Road, Singapore, an island nation located just off the southern tip of Peninsular Malaysia in Southeast Asia. They were determined people whose primarily motivation was a desire to earn a decent living.
In keeping with their belief, they christened their company, ‘Mei Ran’. “Mei” means beautiful and ‘Ran’ means natural in Mandarin. The name Million is a loosely translated word from these words. These persuasive words are evident in the products that we make and the way we conduct ourselves among our customers, vendors and our fellow colleagues.
Million has grown significantly over the years. In the year of 2020, we undergone a rebranding exercise which include the launch of a new domain name, www.millionawards.com. With the rebranding exercise and the birth of the new website, we are able to offer custom features tailored to each of the two major customer segments, namely the industrial group and the award group. Our customers can expect to receive a more seamless and efficient service, with benefits designed specifically for them.
In August 2024, we joyfully celebrate 59 years of contributing to our nation’s progress. As we commemorate this significant milestone, we are honored to commission a special poem, titled, ‘Forty-Five Years of Million Magic‘ to mark our 45th anniversary, aligning with the nation’s celebration. Join us in reflecting on our journey, embracing the spirit of unity, and envisioning a brighter future together.
