Pan-United Corp appoints executive chairman, CEO and director positions

Singapore-listed concrete producer, Pan-United Corp Ltd has appointed May Ng as executive chairman of the Board of Pan-United, and the appointment of Ken Loh as CEO of Pan-United. Both will relinquish their positions as Pan-United's CEO and COO, respectively, and assume their new appointments with immediate effect.

Ms Ng succeeds Tay Siew Choon, who retired as a director of Pan-United in April 2024. The Board of Directors thanked and recorded their deepest gratitude and appreciation to Mr Tay for his invaluable contributions to Pan-United during his close to 20-year tenure as a director of Pan-United, four years of which he served as chairman.

Ms Ng was CEO of Pan-United since March 2011 and has led Pan-United’s transformation into a global leader in low-carbon concrete technologies. She said: "We are very pleased to announce Ken’s appointment as CEO of the company. Ken has been instrumental in our transformation from a brick-and-mortar concrete company to a global leader in low-carbon concrete technologies. We have worked very closely over the years and I look forward to continue working with him to innovate and decarbonise our world with concrete, to ensure a safer world for future generations."

Mr Loh first joined Pan-United as general manager in 1999, with the mandate to spearhead the growth of the company's then-new ready-mix concrete business. Under his steady and strong leadership, today, Pan-United is the largest concrete producer in Singapore, with an established regional presence in Malaysia and Vietnam.
