Back in May, Tek Seng posted a turnaround after four loss-making quarters, delivering RM476,000 net profit in the first quarter ended March 31, 2019 despite revenue shrinking 13.37% to RM44.07 million from RM50.87 million the year before.

The better bottom line came as a result of lower production overhead recorded by its discontinued solar segment, which offset higher production costs incurred by the PVC segment.
