PROFILE

Perbadanan Nasional Berhad (PNS), formerly known as PERNAS, was incorporated in November 29, 1969. In September 1996, PERNAS was privatized through a 'management buyout' (MBO) in which its selected assets were taken over by Pernas International Holdings Berhad. As a result, a new acronym, PNS, was adopted.

PNS embarked on new commercial operation at its new premises located on the 9th Floor of Pusat Dagangan Dunia Putra, Kuala Lumpur with an authorized capital of RM 1 billion and a paid up capital of RM 751 million. The Minister of Finance Incorporated (MOF Inc.) is the majority shareholder.

Drawing on the years of experience and vast resources, PNS is embracing the Government's call to increase the size of Bumiputera Commercial and Industrial Community (BCIC). Realizing the importance of meeting the aspiration, various strategies have been designed and implemented. In addition to providing resources, PNS is determined to enhance Bumiputera entrepreneurs on the aspects of profesionalism, business acumen as well as ethics and discipline.
