Our Group’s history can be traced back to the incorporation of Gosford Malaysia by our late co-founder and Director, Go Yoong Fei. At that time, Gosford Malaysia manufactured and sold automotive covers to the REM market segment, where automotive covers are replaced and/or repaired for used automotive vehicles for car owners, used car dealers, importers, automotive dealers, car accessory retailers and automotive cover installers. In 2003, it began to secure orders for automotive covers from the REM market segment in international markets such as the United Kingdom and New Zealand.

Recognising the potential to sell its automotive covers to the REM market segment in Singapore, the present Chief Executive Officer, Connie Go, who is also the sister of the late Go Yoong Fei, set up Gosford Singapore in 2007 to market and sell automotive covers to the REM market segment in Singapore. Meanwhile, the late Go Yoong Fei also set up Trimex Australia in 2008, to facilitate the marketing and sale of automotive covers to the REM market segment in Australia.

Gosford Malaysia began to automate the cutting process when it acquired its first automated cutting machinery in 2007. The automated cutting machineries enabled it to enhance its operational efficiency and with the automatic nesting software integrated with the machineries, Gosford Malaysia was able to optimise the utilisation of its materials.

Gosford Malaysia secured its first order from the OEM market segment, when it first began to manufacture and supply automotive covers for an automotive seat manufacturer. In 2015, Gosford Malaysia secured its first order from the PDI market segment, which entails replacing and restyling automotive covers for automotive vehicles prior to the automotive vehicle being registered with the Road Transport Department Malaysia.

Upon passing of the late Go Yoong Fei in 2019, the equity shareholding held by the late Go Yoong Fei in Gosford Malaysia was transmitted to his spouse, Tan Sun Sun; brother, Go Yoong Chang; and sister, Connie Go. Thereafter, Connie Go was appointed as a Director in Gosford Malaysia, Trimex Malaysia, Feytech SB and Trimex Australia in 2022.

Since then, our Group continued to achieve new milestones. By 2020, we had 8 automated cutting machineries and 150 sewing machines, which expanded our annual manufacturing capacity to 1.1 million meters of automotive cover material. In 2021, our Group expanded downstream and ventured into the manufacturing of automotive seats and Feytech SB was incorporated to facilitate this expansion.

Over the years, our Group has established our reputation as an automotive cover manufacturer that can also manufacture automotive seats. According to PROVIDENCE, we are the third largest automotive cover manufacturer in Malaysia in 2022, based on our Group’s revenues from our automotive cover division. To-date, our clientele from the OEM market segments includes established national and international automotive vehicle brands.

Gosford Malaysia has also obtained the IATF 16949 – First Edition certification for the manufacturing of leather automotive seat covers.
