THE VOICE OF THE HALAL INDUSTRY


The MIHAS Exporters Club (MEC) is a not-for-profit organisation established by Shapers Malaysia Sdn Bhd (SHAPERS) for individuals and companies involved in the Halal industry either directly or indirectly. The Halal industry is fast expanding beyond the food sector to include finance, tourism, modest fashion, pharmaceuticals and healthcare, media recreation and e-commerce. This lucrative market is attracting industry leaders, investors and entrepreneurs, resulting in intense competition and greater regulation.

MEC will protect the interests of Halal entrepreneurs and nurture their growth; while providing a united voice for industry players to collectively meet the challenges in the Halal ecosystem and compete effectively in the global Halal market. With MEC, industry players will be able to network with prominent individuals, business leaders and professionals, and stay ahead of the competition. No other organisation provides more ways for Halal industry players to connect with people and the resources they need to be successful.



CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE


It gives me great pleasure to invite you to become an exclusive member of the MIHAS Exporters Club. Shapers Malaysia Sdn Bhd (SHAPERS) established the Malaysia International Halal Showcase (MIHAS) back in 2004. Since then, MIHAS has grown from strength to strength to become the premier marketplace for Halal trade all around the world. Our passion and commitment in promoting Halal products and services to the world led us to create Halal Fiesta Malaysia (HALFEST) in 2011 and the World Halal Summit (WHS) in 2015. These events have successfully put Malaysia back on the map as a thought-leader and serious contender in the global Halal industry.

With the Muslim consumer market tagged as the fastest growing consumer segment in the world, there is enormous growth potential for the Halal industry, which is currently estimated to be worth USD2.3 trillion. Realising this, countries around the world are charging full steam ahead to tap into this lucrative market. To be successful in the Halal marketplace, businesses need to innovate and improve the way they produce and work with one another. They need to meet the challenges head-on and keep pace with the changing landscape in the Halal ecosystem. This is not always easy.

SHAPERS, having been in the Halal industry for more than 13 years, understands the Halal market and the inherent challenges in the industry only too well. That is why we established the MIHAS Exporters Club (MEC) to protect the interests of Halal entrepreneurs and nurture their growth. MEC will provide a united voice for industry players to collectively meet the challenges in the Halal ecosystem and compete effectively in the global Halal market. With our industry experience, we can provide our members first-hand contact with government and other officials for the development and promotion of Halal products and services to the world. MEC will represent its members to obtain government funding and secure subsidies to facilitate their participation in MIHAS, WHS and HALFEST.

We are proud to extend the MEC membership to Halal entrepreneurs and key players in the global Halal industry. MEC will facilitate networking between industry stakeholders and assist them to become globally competitive exporters. Members will enjoy premium benefits including the opportunity to participate in trade missions and the business matching sessions at MIHAS. MEC will also provide its members special rates to advertise in the Malaysia Exporters Trade Directory, to assist them in gaining international exposure.

With MEC, you can take your networking to a whole new level by being amongst prominent individuals, business leaders and professionals who can not only influence policy making but strengthen your professional connections and offer pointers for you to stay ahead of the competition.

To conclude, I am optimistic and convinced through MEC, Halal industry players will be able to seize market opportunities and strengthen their positioning in order to grow, create value and respond to the challenges in the global Halal industry. I look forward to welcoming you aboard.

Dato' Mohd Shukri Abdullah
Chairman of MIHAS Exporters Club
