Quick answer
Tender Products Sdn. Bhd. (Batu Caves, Selangor, established 1989) is a long-history factory in the plainest sense — one of the longest-standing companies I have reviewed, raised on household brands, in personal care since 2004, with a JAKIM halal lineage running since 2009, one of the longest I have checked. The registry shows 126 active notifications for 29 brand owners, and the bench that matters: hair care, 44 filings deep, serving salon and professional names. It also shows the gaps: the “colour cosmetics” on the menu barely exist in the record, the halal certificate covers zero listed products, and this 37-year-old factory has no findable Google Business listing at all. My verdict: endorsed as an OEM option for hair, salon, personal-care and volume FMCG-grade lines at the published 500-per-item floor — with the reservations a veteran has earned the right to hear bluntly.
The veteran’s file
Some context before the registry, because 1989 deserves it. SSM records show Tender Products Sdn. Bhd. under registration 76943-V — a number series from an era when most factories in this series were not ideas yet. The company’s own history says household brands first, personal care from 2004, and the JAKIM directory backs the seriousness: an OEM-scheme halal certificate whose reference number carries the 012-09/2009 lineage — sixteen years of continuous halal infrastructure, one of the longest lineages I have checked, currently valid into 2027. Add the company-stated 5,000kg-a-day bulk capacity and a published floor of 500 pieces per item — all three re-verified on the company’s own pages this week — and on paper this is the steady, boring, dependable factory every supply-chain manager secretly wants.
The active registry tail runs from 2018 — remember cosmetic notifications lapse every two years, so a 37-year-old factory showing filings from 2018 onward is normal churn, not a late start — and the recent curve is genuinely alive: 16 filings in 2024, 64 in 2025, 24 so far in 2026, across 29 brand owners of whom 22 are repeat holders, averaging 4.3 products each.
One more thing the birth year buys you that no young factory can fake: survivorship through every regulatory regime Malaysia has thrown at this industry. A company that made household products in 1989 has lived through the arrival of the cosmetics notification system itself, the tightening of GMP expectations, and two decades of halal formalisation — and is still standing, still filing, still certified. Sixty-four filings in 2025 from a 36-year-old plant is not nostalgia; it is a veteran having one of its busiest years on record. Whatever else this review pokes at below, that endurance is the hardest credential in manufacturing to counterfeit, because the only way to get it is to not die.
What the registry says they actually make: hair
Read the 126 products and one segment towers over everything: hair care, 44 filings — shampoos, conditioners, scalp toniques, salon treatments — for names like Haircrafter International and Ayur V Ayurvedic Hair & Beauty Care. Creams and lotions follow at 24, serums at 15. This is a hair-and-body factory with a professional accent, and for a salon brand or a barber line, a 37-year-old plant with 5,000kg bulk capacity and this bench is close to a default choice.
The client sheet has an insider curiosity worth decoding: alongside the salon names sit holders like a packaging company (14 products) and an industrial cable trading company (11 products). Before you raise an eyebrow — this is the white-label economy working as designed: established trading companies commissioning house lines to push through their own distribution, the FMCG end of personal care running on old-school B2B relationships. It also means the client list will not impress your investors by name, and Tender clearly does not care — there is something almost admirable about a factory this indifferent to glamour.
Now the claim I have to hold against the record. The website offers “colour cosmetics” among its categories. The registry shows one base-makeup filing and zero lip products. Whatever colour capability existed historically — and a 2004-era personal care factory may well have made plenty since expired — TODAY’s public record does not evidence a colour cosmetics operation. If a colour line is your plan, ask for current formulas and run samples; do not book it on the menu listing.
Three roasts for the elder statesman
One: Google has never met you. I searched Maps for Tender Products Sdn. Bhd. — by name, by address, by neighbourhood — and found software companies, a frozen-food plant, everything except a 37-year-old factory in Batu Caves (searched 10 September 2026). No listing, no reviews, no pin. Gentlemen, a Google Business profile is free, takes half an hour, and in 2026 it is where every first-time founder due-diligences you before calling. You have outlived most of the industry; let people find the survivor.
Two: sixteen years of halal certificate, zero products under it. A halal lineage running since 2009 is genuinely impressive — and the directory lists no certified products against it today. Regular readers know this pattern by now: the infrastructure without the inventory. For a factory whose halal papers are old enough to vote, walking client products through certification should be routine by now. It clearly is not, and halal-first brands should price that in.
Three: the homepage still carries the “no order is minimum” style of slogan while the stated commercial term is 500 pieces per item. One of these is marketing warmth and one is the contract; our July sweep quoted the 500 because that is the printed term, and I would advise Tender to retire the slogan — a 37-year-old factory does not need to flirt.
What should a buyer do with these three roasts? Nothing dramatic — that is rather the point. None of them touches the production floor: the invisibility is marketing neglect, the halal gap is a process nobody has driven, the slogan is a leftover. A factory whose worst findable sins are cosmetic — in the other sense of the word — while its registry, its certificate lineage and its client retention all hold steady, is a factory whose problems you would happily take over most of this industry’s. Just walk in with the three questions loaded, and enjoy being the first customer in years to have Googled them.

Who should call them — and who should not
Call them if: you are building a hair care, salon or barber line and want a veteran plant with real bulk capacity behind it; you are a personal-care, body-care or volume FMCG-grade brand that values a 500-per-item floor from a factory that has survived every market cycle since 1989; or you are an established trading company that wants a dependable white-label partner and could not care less about Instagram.
Look elsewhere if: your brand is colour-cosmetics-led — the active registry does not support the menu claim, so demand current proof before betting on it; you are halal-first and need certified product coverage rather than certified premises; or you want a factory with a public reputation you can read — because this one, for better and worse, has chosen to have none.

FAQ
Is Tender Products one of the top 10 OEM cosmetic manufacturers in Malaysia?
You are asking my opinion, so plainly: for me, no. Its 126 active notifications place it far from the largest Malaysian OEM factories, its registry bench is concentrated in hair and personal care rather than national breadth, its sixteen-year halal certificate covers zero listed products, and it has no public footprint for buyers to weigh. What I can say without hesitation is different and worth more to the right buyer: this is a long-history factory — surviving since 1989, certified since 2009, filing busily in 2025 — and in volume hair and personal-care manufacturing it is a serious, proven workhorse for the FMCG end of the market. Judge it as that, not by lists.
Is Tender Products a real OEM manufacturer?
Yes, and one of the oldest in the country still operating: SSM registration 76943-V dates the company to 1989, the NPRA registry lists it as manufacturer of record for 126 active products (captured 10 September 2026), and JAKIM has certified the Batu Caves premises under the OEM scheme since 2009. Its stated bulk capacity is 5,000kg per day (company-stated).
What is Tender Products’ OEM minimum order quantity?
The stated term is 500 pieces per item of production, published on the company’s own site as of our July 2026 sweep and re-verified on 12 September 2026. Ignore the softer “no minimum” marketing phrasing elsewhere on the site — 500 per item is the working commercial term, and per-item means a three-product range commits you to 1,500 units. Confirm in writing.
What is Tender Products best at?
Hair care, by a wide margin: 44 of its 126 active filings are shampoos, conditioners, treatments and scalp products, serving salon and professional brands. Creams, lotions and body care follow, with company-stated 5,000kg-a-day bulk capacity suiting volume runs. Its menu lists colour cosmetics, but the active registry shows almost none — treat that capability as unproven today and ask for current evidence.
Is Tender Products halal certified?
The premises hold a JAKIM OEM-scheme certificate with a lineage running since 2009 — one of the longest we have checked — currently valid into 2027. However, the directory lists zero certified products under it as of 10 September 2026; halal status attaches product by product, so your product’s certification would be its own application. Ask them to walk you through that pathway and timeline.
Why can’t I find Tender Products on Google Maps?
As of 10 September 2026 we could not find a Google Business listing for the company under its name or address. Nothing sinister follows — the factory predates Google by a decade and clearly runs on B2B relationships — but it does mean your due diligence happens through SSM, NPRA, JAKIM and a factory visit rather than reviews. All four are more reliable anyway.
