| PGEO Group's first project was a soybean extraction plant in Pasir Gudang back in 1980, followed by its first refining plant in 1981. With hard work and a strong commitment, it commenced its first consumer packing plant in Pasir Gudang in 1986 and started venturing into other downstream activities with the construction of a fractionation plant in 1987 and a steel drum manufacturing plant in 1988. |

| In late 1980s, PGEO Group started expanding its presence nationwide with the acquisition of Sandakan Edible Oils in Sabah and PGEO Edible Oils Sdn Bhd (Prai Division). The 1990s was a busy era for PGEO Group with the establishment of its first refinery in Sarawak, Bintulu Edible Oils Sdn. Bhd, and followed by a joint venture company, Lahad Datu Edible Oils in Sabah. In the late 1990s, PGEO Group expanded further by starting specialty fats production in Pasir Gudang and commencing a new refinery in Lumut Perak followed by a joint venture company with Volac Ltd for the production of calcium salts for animal feed ingredients in Pasir Gudang. |
