History
The YLI Group has its beginning in 1966 with the establishment of Yew Lean Foundry & Co as a cast iron factory, producing cast iron fittings and other cast iron-based products.

YLI was listed on the Second Board of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad (then known as "Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange") on 7 August 1997 and was subsequently transferred to the Main Board (which is now known as the Main Market) of Bursa Malaysia Securities Berhad on 10 January 2001. In 2025, the Group diversified into manufacturing of water meter and smart energy meters, and trading of chemicals for water and wastewater treatment plants.
