THE sight of a coffee place and vibrant eateries is not something one would associate with dusty, old printing press machines of yesteryears.
Yet, APW chief executive officer Ee Soon Wei has managed to turn his family’s underutilised printing facility, previously a scene of stagnation and dilapidation from years of neglect, into a vibrant space for people and businesses to come together. He made a way for the new to co-exist with the old. And whatever work that was done to APW, he made sure they worked around the “soul” of the place.
