From 3rd to 6th July 2024, KIAN made its way into the annual ARCHIDEX exhibition, held at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre (KLCC). Our theme “We Are Evolving” showcases the launch of our new brands, with each (brand) focused at providing “in-a-box” total solutions and tackling customer pain points through our dedicated A-teams. Aside from the launch, KIAN shared its sustainability journey and innovative offerings to the industry.
