About Us
Precision and Quality in Every Cut
Founded in 1987 and headquartered in Melaka, Malaysia, K & H Trading (Melaka) Sdn Bhd is a trusted distribution company specialising in household and plantation tools. Our product portfolio includes high-quality kitchenware and equipment for the oil palm and rubber industries.
We began with a strong focus on developing professional sharpening stones and later expanded into plantation tools, including oil palm harvesting sickles and rubber tapping knives. In 2012, we ventured into professional kitchenware, introducing the JAYA MATA range of premium kitchen knives.
As an ISO 9001:2015 Quality Management certified company, we take pride in being the only corporate in Malaysia to invest RM1,000,000 in product insurance coverage for our JAYA MATA line—ensuring added peace of mind for our customers.
