History
Cheetah Holdings Berhad traces its origins to 1977, when the family patriarch established a traditional family business trading sports apparel. In 1979 the company launched its own "CHEETAH" brand of products, a move described by the company as a roaring entry into the sports apparel arena. From the outset the business concentrated on market networking, branding and designing as its main roles, rather than owning manufacturing capacity, and it built its labels through outsourcing to dedicated and reliable suppliers who had been with the company since its inception. Over the years the company developed and expanded its portfolio with more brands aimed at different market segments and casual lifestyle wear. The brand stable came to include Cheetah Junior, Cheetah Ladies, C. Union, CTH Unlimited, C2 United, CTH Ladies and Baby Cheetah. The group also secured two international licensee brands: Ladybird for children's wear and GQ for men's business wear. Distribution grew through the company's networking relationships to more than 800 points of sale nationwide, including stand-alone boutiques. In January 2005, the company was listed on the Second Board of Bursa Malaysia under Cheetah Holdings Berhad. In the same year the CHEETAH brand was awarded the SUPERBRAND 2005 award, which the company describes as the first time a sport and casual wear company was recognised with such an award. In July 2007 the listing was transferred to the Main Board of Bursa Malaysia. In 2009 the company received the Asia Pacific Excellence Award for Entrepreneur, and it fully centralised all its operations — marketing, distributions, designing and warehousing — into a new 100,000 sq ft building, allowing management to oversee all departments under one roof. The company remains an active Malaysian apparel group. Its registered office is at Persoft Tower, Tropicana Golf & Country Resort, Petaling Jaya, Selangor, and its shares are listed on the Main Market of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad. Its board includes an independent non-executive chairman, an executive director and several independent non-executive directors, and it continues to publish annual reports and quarterly financial results.
