The Green Factory: Painting the World Green

Minimalistic home decorations

Located in Ampang, Selangor, TGF adopts a circular approach to the sustainable production of timber products, covering aspects of green manufacturing such as sourcing eco materials, green design, green building, system efficiency, waste management and education.

The 13,000 sq. ft. factory easily identifies with TGF’s green initiatives. The structures have eco elements, such as natural lightings and water harvesting. They also adopt open-concept systems that allow fresh air to circulate in the compound and even a diverse collection of local botanicals that decorate the factory courtyard.    

Malaysian Identity

With more than 20 years of woodworking experience, TGF has developed its expertise in multiple sustainable wood product offerings, which include: 

• Home & Living

• Kitchenware 

• Storage & Organisers

• Work & Study

• Furniture

• Fashion

• Gifts

They are marketed under Dapo, HGC and Oran & Bula brands. These brands have a unique Malaysian stamp; Dapo is derived from the original Malay word “Dapur”, which means kitchen or cooking stove, while Oran & Bula is a collaborative project by Harith Ridzuan (TGF CEO) and artist-designer Fariza Basri. Oran & Bula’s core philosophy fuses Malay-inspired traditions with eco-conscious design to create a unique selection of contemporary apparel & accessories.

Sustainability is the Foundation

TGF’s operations are based on the Proactive Green System (PGS), a circular approach to manufacturing that covers each aspect of its production chain. They consist of ethical sourcing, green design, non-toxic coatings, waste management, green building elements, in-house culture and outreach initiatives.

PGS allows The Green Factory to conform to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by United Nations, especially No.12, ensuring sustainable consumption and production patterns.

TGF believes that educating and empowering suppliers and customers ensures sustainability is ingrained effectively in purchasing decisions. As part of this initiative, it regularly welcomes visitors from all walks of life to experience its concept factory - students, school children, tourists, shoppers, corporations, industry leaders and associations.
