Mann Seng Metal International says MSM Equipment Manufacturer Sdn. Bhd., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company, on July 12 , entered into an original equipment manufacturer-distribution agreement with Rational International AG.

The OEM-distribution agreement appoints MSM Equipment to distribute the multifunctional cooking appliances manufactured by Rational AG, under MSM Equipment’s trademark MSM and product designations.

Rational AG is a company incorporated in Germany and has valuable know-how and experience in the manufacture of multifunctional cooking appliances.

The above transaction enables the company and its subsidiaries to expand their range of products to their customers in the food and beverage industry.

The appointment is exclusive for the territory of Malaysia, and non-exclusive for the territory of Singapore.

The appointment of MSM Equipment under the agreement is for an initial period of two years. After this initial period, the agreement will automatically be renewed for a one-year period, and thereafter renewed each succeeding one-year period. There will be no renewal if prior notice of termination is given by one party to the other.
