Mr. Goi Goes into Business
Writing for the National Library Board of Singapore, Alvin Chua tells the story of how Mr. Goi started out by borrowing money to buy Tee Yih Jia in the late 1970s. Using his background in mechanical and electrical engineering, he designed the company’s machines to make the production of spring roll wrappers more efficient.

Mr. Goi then went on to grow the company by targeting restaurants and supermarkets, and diversifying his company’s product offerings. In addition to spring roll wrappers, Tee Yih Jia produced noodles, samosas, pizzas and prawn rolls, as well as Asian fast food such as frozen roti prata, dimsum and laksa.

Now the world’s leading producer of spring roll wrappers, Tee Yih Jia is a global company with hundreds of millions in revenue, a firm foothold in Asia, Australia, Europe and the United States, and an international distribution network. Mr. Goi has also since expanded the company with acquisitions such as a share in dairy company, Etika International. Use the Spiking app to track companies such as Tee Yih Jia today.
