‘We started consolidation early’


Ann Joo Resources Bhd group MD Datuk Lim Hong Thye

THE affable Datuk Lim Hong Thye is only 41, but he is already a veteran in the steel industry, having survived the turmoil in the industry that forced the closure of Megasteel Sdn Bhd – Malaysia’s only flat steel plant.

When StarBizWeek caught up with him at the Ann Joo Resources Bhd headquarters, the suave and urbane Lim rattled out easily the facts and figures of the industry that he has been part and parcel of since he was 25 years old.
