About OPS
What kind of company is OPS?
OMNI-PLUS SYSTEM LIMITED(OPS) develops total supply chain solutions for Engineering plastics which are synthetic resins (materials) through 2 business operations.
OPS's 2 businesses
-
Distribution business
Distribution and sales of Generic and Specialty Engineering plastics materials -
Development and manufacturing business
Manufacture and compound of original Engineering plastics materials in accordance with customers' needs
※compound(mixing・coloring):adding characteristics and values (durability and heat resistance) and specific coloring to synthetic resin materials
Customers of OPS Engineering plastics products
Top multi-national brand manufacturers :
European home appliances manufacturer D, famous for vacuum cleaners;
American office automation equipment manufacturer H; Scandinavian telecommunication equipment manufacturer N; European medical
equipment manufacturer B and many others.
What are Engineering plastics?
Generic term for synthetic resins with high heat resistance and improved mechanical strength for use under harsh industrial conditions.
Engineering plastics are positioned between metal parts and Generic plastic parts enabling lighter weight and lower price. This is why many types have been developed and are used for variety of applications.
OPS’s Engineering plastics products are used in parts for home appliances,
vacuum cleaners, OA equipment, automobiles, cell phones, etc.

OPS's Business Model
- We can provide supply chain solutions from the polymer manufacturers (upstream) to the finished product (downstream) which is one of OPS's strengths.
- Stable supply of products for top brands through strong partnership with polymer manufacturers.
- Reliable supply of products through strong relationship with contract manufacturers, etc.
- We can respond to individual customer's needs, especially coloring to its specification. This is OPS's specialty and is one of the reason that makes us the customer's choice.
- R&D, Engineering Center is located next to the head office and the compound factories are in Malaysia and the Philippines.

Business development in ASEAN countries
We have offices and a subsidiaries in 6 Southeast Asian countries, China, Japan, U.S. and a compounding (mixing/coloring) factories in Malaysia and the Philippines.

OPS's continuous growth

OPS’s 3 strengths
-
1. Partnership with top polymer manufacturers in Europe, USA and Japan
-
2. R&D capabilities(shortening lead time)and partnership with top brand companies
- Conducts joint R&D from the early stage of the customer's product life cycle
- Can respond to customer's needs including environmental, safety, technical and regulatory requirements
- Continuously follow the entire product development process
- OPS can significantly shorten product development lead time. (Up to 50 % reduction in time from finalization of material specification to mass production)
Total lead time before
mass productionWhy OPS can shorten lead time 6~8 months We have by far the largest accumulation of data on materials and prototyping. All plastic products can easily be adjusted. Polymer
manufacturers10~13 months There are many approval procedures from prototyping molding till optimization. Adjustment of products other than their own takes time.
-
3. Strong support from strategic partners
- Multifaceted support and cooperation from the Singapore government
- Synergies from collaboration with ITOCHU Group:full-scale contributions to business from FY2022/3
- Multifaceted support and cooperation from the Singapore government
OPS's focused growth areas
On the medium to long term, we will focus on products for the following applications:
①Information and telecommunication technology such as 5G ②EV ③Construction&Building
5G
- Expected shipment of 5G smartphones will reach approx. 35 million units in 2025 which will all be 5G compatible (2021: approx. 34 million units).
- Engineering plastics are used as metal substitutes for signal transmissions devices such as antenna and base stations.

EV
- Global EV sales expected to account for 56% of all vehicle sales in 2040.
- Engineering plastics are used in the battery and powertrain heat management system which is the most important component to ensure maximum mileage in EV.

Construction&Building
- Plastics are flexible, weather-resistant, light weight and can replace traditional building material such as glass and wood (and can also be mass produced).
- Durable and lightweight, plastics improves construction productivity and reduces man-hours.

Initiatives for environmental regulations
We mix with materials utilizing recycled technology and co-develop alternative materials.
⓵Mixing with Glass Wool (GW), used recycle material

⓶Bio Polymer:Co-development of plastics alternative materials
Co-developing Biodegradable plastic that is eventually broken down into water and carbon dioxide by microorganisms in the natural world with Singapore Agency for Science, Technology and Research (A*STAR)
