Milestones

Over 50 years of success built on knowledge, passion and people excellence.

In 2013, SLS embarked on a rebranding initiative. Our new brand identity as a fully integrated business enhancement solutions provider promises to create advantage for your success.

SLS Pro was created to offer fully-integrated Proactive, Reliability and Optimisation maintenance solutions to our customers. These specialised services are supported by a team of experienced engineers and technical personnel.

SLS Academy, an initiative for people excellence, was set up to provide in-house workshops and hands-on training to our employees and customers on product and industry know-how, skills and applications.

The guiding philosophy of SLS’ growth over the years can be traced to Founder, Mr Tan Tiong Seng’s steadfast principles.

“As long as a businessman has integrity, always acts within his means and is not driven only by profits, he stands the highest chance of succeeding, be it in good or bad times. A company that helps others to succeed will also achieve success.”
