A New Chapter with Gopeng Kaltech
Ipoh, Malaysia, Monday 3rd February 2025 — Gopeng Kaltech proudly announces the grand opening of its new transition of business operations, marking the beginning of an exciting chapter under new management. This milestone event took place at our plant on 3rd February 2025, celebrating the company’s refreshed identity, vision, and commitment to growth and innovation in the industry of calcium carbonate and dolomite powder.
A New Chapter with the Same Trusted Foundation
Founded in 2007, GK has long been a trusted name in providing high-quality mineral products. Under a new name and new leadership, the company is in a strategic transition of business operations. This shift in leadership signifies a new era focused on operational excellence, sustainable growth, and customer-centric solutions while continuing to uphold the values and quality that have defined Gopeng Kaltech over the years.
A Celebration of Heritage and Progress
For many in our multinational team, this was a unique cultural immersion experience, giving them the opportunity to witness and participate in an important tradition that symbolizes luck and protection. We kicked things off with firecrackers blasting on the ground, filling the air with crackling sounds and setting the mood for the day. The bursts of colour and sound were the perfect way to mark new beginnings and welcome fresh opportunities.
After the firecrackers, the lion dance performance, a traditional symbol of good fortune and protection, took centre stage. The rhythmic drums and bold colours brought life to our workplace, reflecting not only cultural heritage but also the vibrant future we envision under our new leadership.
Adding to the festive mood, the mischievous Choy Sun Ye, the God of Fortune mascot, made his rounds, playfully interacting with the crowd and spreading laughter. His antics brought joy to the team, making the moment even more memorable. It was a meaningful way to honour tradition while stepping confidently into the future with our new leadership.
The Yee Sang Tradition
The Yee Sang tossing ceremony is a meaningful tradition that symbolizes prosperity, unity, and new beginnings. With each toss of the ingredients, we voiced our wishes for success, health, and happiness in the coming year. Following the ceremony, we continued the celebration with a buffet luncheon, where we enjoyed a variety of delicious dishes, and strengthened connections in a warm and lively atmosphere.
Fortune and Festivities
Adding to the festive spirit was our exciting lucky draw, sparking joy and anticipation among the team. This lighthearted moment not only brought fun but also symbolized the abundance and opportunities we aim to create for everyone in the Gopeng Kaltech family.
A Moment of Unity
The highlight of the celebration was our group photo, capturing the essence of teamwork and the collective spirit that drives us forward. Seeing familiar faces alongside new ones, all sharing smiles and a sense of belonging, reaffirmed that while our brand has evolved, the heart of our organization remains strong—rooted in collaboration, trust, and shared goals.
A Vision for the Future
As we embark on this new journey, our vision is clear: to honour our past while boldly stepping into the future. With new management steering the ship and a refreshed brand reflecting our growth, we are more committed than ever to excellence, innovation, and creating value for our customers and community.
“This grand opening is more than just a ceremony; it’s a reflection of our commitment to growth, innovation, and the communities we serve,” said the Director of Gopeng Kaltech. “With our dedicated team, advanced processes, and strong values, we are poised to set new benchmarks in the industry.”
