TOWARDS BIGGER AND BETTER THINGS
THROWBACK TO 2022: OUR YEAR IN REVIEW
In a year when 13 means so much more, our journey continues with bigger dreams to follow.
Going back to the very beginning, our chapter this year started in a brand new house that brought our Unbounded journey to a whole new level.
Following the recovery of global business sectors last year as people gradually adapted to new normal living, we believed that new measures had to be taken in order for our journey to continue for years to come.
Aside from dedicating our efforts to the continuous launch of new products and services, we started looking into ways to enhance our business operations in 2021, and after months of planning, we were able to enter into a new chapter early this year where the main operations of KompacPlus were rebranded as subsidiaries under a new holding company – Hyphenate Holdings.
While this change does not affect us as the leading provider of innovative interior surfacing solutions using KompacPanels, it does introduce a new operational structure for us through new business entities: Assembly Mills and Greater Than Dsgn.
Under Hyphenate Holdings, Assembly Mills represent our production arm that also serves as the primary installer of KompacPlus projects while our in-house creative team celebrated its official debut as Greater Than Dsgn – a multi-disciplinary creative studio that has since been making its services available for aspiring brands and the greater community.
On this note, KompacPlus remains as the supplier of KompacPlus, and in conjunction with this transformation that seeks only to enhance our brand offerings for our clients, our journey forward is enhanced by a new brand mission that aims to deliver the ultimate service at all levels.
In this new house that is Hyphenate Holdings, there will undoubtedly be new challenges ahead, but through joint efforts, we are more united than ever.
So what has changed since then? Nothing you’ll miss, but everything we need for our brand and people to grow.
#1: A hybrid workforce
#2: A brand new office
#3: An enhanced brand experience, inspired by KompacPlus Unbounded
Through Hyphenate Holdings, our team is constantly growing as a network of specialised individuals who shares our passion for great work and service, and from our new headquarters located at Bukit Batok, we aim to conquer the global arena as a leading brand in innovative space and creative design.
So all that happened in the beginning of the year. What happened next that made 2022 special for us?
The Launch of People Behind Design:
Our Podcast Channel on Spotify
A sequel to our KompacTalk series that we previously hosted on Instagram, we started our very own podcast channel this year as a platform for us to stay connected with industry peers and the creative people in our lives.
With aim to share insight about their works and their journey as fellow creatives and design enthusiasts, we sit down with our guests on a bimonthly basis to listen, learn, and share our stories with the world.

Hosted by Derrick, we recorded a total of 5 podcast episodes this year in the company of good friends and colleagues.
The KompacPlus PlayFest at Archidex 2022
During the last weekend in June, we celebrated the reopening of the annual Archidex exhibition this year with ‘The KompacPlus PlayFest’ at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre.
Decked with KompacPanels from floor to ceiling, The KompacPlus PlayFest is also our centre of playful reunions where we finally get to connect with our Malaysia team and clients since 2019.
As our first public event held since the Covid-19 outbreak, The KompacPlus PlayFest provided us the opportunity to showcase all our latest products and services with the local brand community.
Aside from brand new displays that included our very own KompacPlay MixMatch feature wall, a photo contest was also held throughout the event where visitors to our booth were encouraged to capture selected highlights to win a KompacPlus Voucher worth RM1,000.
Although Archidex only lasted 4 days, we were glad to be part of such an amazing experience where industry experts gather from all over the world to explore everything that the architectural industry has to offer for future homes and living spaces everywhere.
Thank you to everyone who visited The KompacPlus PlayFest this year at Archidex. We definitely look forward to the next one to come to showcase the KompacPlus Unbounded experience in new and creative ways.
The Launch of The KompacPlus Companion Kit
Shortly after the end of our Archidex showcase, our next 2022 milestone is the launch of our very own cleaning kit – also known as the KompacPlus Companion Kit – as a welcome gift for new KompacPanel users to celebrate the start of their Unbounded journey with KompacPlus.
Designed to be the perfect cleaning assistant in every way, The KompacPlus Companion Kit comes in a soft pouch that safely stores your cleaning tools until you need them another day.
Exclusively designed as a collection of tools and tips that are proven to help clean KompacPanels in the most effortless way, the Companion Kit is an initiative inspired by our new brand mission to enhance the post-installation brand experience for our clients.
Instead of worrying over which cleaning products to use, or how to clean, the kit has everything they need to get started in the right way – complete with a recommended guide on how to remedy specific stains and dirt from the panel surface without damaging its aesthetics.
In case of accidental spills, don’t fret! Just pick up your Companion Guide to look for our best recommendations to return your KompacPanel to its original condition.
Celebrating 13th Anniversary with ‘Curiosity at Play’
In celebration of new beginnings forward as part of Hyphenate Holdings. we introduced new personalities to join our KompacToy collection as our Unbounded journey enters its 13th year.
As the highlight of our anniversary celebrations in recent years, anyone who’s interested in bringing our new friends home can only do so via an exclusive giveaway, and this year, our Toys found new homes with 3 lucky winners who successfully completed our challenge quiz.
3 winners were selected this year as new owners of our adorable tiny companions. We hope they keep you company at home or at work for many years to come!
With all the love that they’ve been receiving, we foresee that this adoptive family will continue to grow in years to come.
For those of you who missed out on the giveaway this round, do follow us on Instagram to get latest updates of when they will be returning to our giveaway pool.
In the company of Willie the Whale and old friends that were launched in conjunction with previous anniversary celebrations, this latest extension brought the total number of our adorable tiny companions from 4 to 9. Guess which animals will be joining them next?
Taking Sustainable Steps Forward
as a Brand and Business
As the saying goes, with great power, comes great responsibility.
Where the establishment of Hyphenate Holdings opened up opportunities for us to reach new and different markets, we kept in mind to always look at the picture, so that as our brands grow, we grow along with them – to do better for us, and ultimately for our communities.
One of our biggest focus right now is to reduce waste with aim to preserve the environment where we operate in.
Through collaborations with local artists, we aim to establish a new chapter for our production offcuts that are often irregular in shape and size.
Instead of sending them for proper disposal that will result in carbon footprints that is harmful for the environment, we aim to find a way for these leftover panels to be repurposed so they can continue to serve as a material for innovative use.
Under the Off-Kutt collection by local designer Melvin, these unique displays were all made from KompacPanel offcuts that were showcased at the FIND Design Fair Asia 2022.
Cheers to all the Unbounded adventures to come!
As far as fresh starts go, this year sums up as a new journey for us in so many ways, but at the very centre of it all – at our very core – we are still guided by one goal, which is to deliver the ultimate service at all levels.
With so much more to look forward to, we anticipate another busy year ahead as we count down the days until the calendar resets.
Do continue to follow our journey on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok. For collaborations or other enquiries, please write in to enquiry@kompacplus.com or contact us at 012 588 2258.
Wishing everyone happy holidays, merry Christmas and happy new year in advance!
