The firm has a S1-grade license by Building and Construction Authority of Singapore. Her two factories are located in Singapore and Malaysia with a total capacity of 42,000 tonnes.
In 2018, the group expanded into waste management in Singapore and Thailand. The business involves converting waste wood into wood pellets as feedstock to power bio-mass plants.
Financial
Revenue and profit peak in FYJul16 and trended lower thereafter. This was mainly because of the expiry of highly profitable dormitory business in Jan-2017.
Segments
Post expiry of license of dormitory business, TTJ scale up her activities in Structural Steel, leading to sizeable improvement in order-book from 3QApr17.

Opinion
The strong Structural Steel order-book should sustain construction activities until FY22.
Despite the impact of Covid-19, Waste Management business should gradually scale up in the course of 2020. Government is likely to boost infrastructure programmes to support their economies and domestic consumption.
