The NEK Group’s founder, the late Ng Eng Kee, was born in Taiping, Perak, Malaysia in 1925, helping his father, the late Ng Chong Geng, to establish manufacturing and trading companies which specialised in rubber, palm oil and petrochemical products. 

The move to China and other overseas markets began In the 1970s and continues until today with new businesses in real estate and manufacturing. ​Today, the NEK Group is a family office that invests in fintech, AI, semiconductors, HR engagement platforms, travel, jewellery and luxury goods all the way from seed to growth stage, including highly profitable late-stage companies. 

NEK offers early stage companies equity capital, mentorship support and networking access to both the Southeast Asia region as well as China’s Greater Bay region.
