History

This company is established in Year 1961, founded by Goh Hong Choon. During the early day, the business activities were mainly in second hand car dealing and money lending for hire purchase of vehicles. On year 1983, after being a reefer technician in the Port of Singapore Authority (PSA) for six years, Willie Goh, who is the second son of Hong Choon, has decided to resign from PSA and rendered the reefer machinery services to Container Depots by using the same company name.



In the initial phase, he rendered the reefer machinery services to just two Depots. Buses were the only mode of transport he could afford during those days. His only technical assistance at that time was one of his brothers. Throughout twenty years of hardship, the reefer services rendered by Eastern were slowly recognized by majority of the Shipping Lines and Container Leasing Companies. More and more Depots have engaged Eastern for reefer machinery services and we are glad that today, Eastern has became the biggest reefer machinery servicing company in Singapore, We have even extended our services to anchorage, as well as consignee and shipper premises in Singapore. Of all these customers, more than 50% of them have been supporting us for more than ten years.



Due to the long term trust and good working relationship with the Shipping lines, customers have requested us to extend our services to ship-kit management for their vessels. Because of our willingness to listen to customers, as well as a group of committed and experience spare parts workforce, we have rapidly growth this business and it has now became one of our core businesses.



Shipping lines wants us to duplicate these services to other countries. On few occasions, they even introduce the potential working partners for us. We have since expand our businesses to several countries and are aiming to give a one stop services to customers in this region.
